OSC Annual Homerun

After a 2 year gap of school events, the service group Housing and Habitat, organized OSC’s annual home run with help from my service group, Care for Paws. The home run is a 5km run/walk in which participants could bring their dogs and have a good or exhausting time. The map itself was around school, with some great routes and views available as well.

I helped to organize the numerous water stops that were scattered throughout the run and talked to some Housing and Habitat members to discuss the different aspects of it. However, I chose to participate in the run at the end, instead of staying at a water stop for my service.

During the run, I was trying my best to get a good time and possibly be one of the fastest to finish the race. It ended up being was pretty difficult in the sweltering heat and the occasional uphill circuits, but I managed to run it and was proud of myself. I ended up finishing in 2nd place exhausted and sweating, but the dip in the school pool more than made up for it.
