The L.A. Chinatown Firecracker Run/Walk is one of the largest and longest-running Chinese New Year charity run in the country. 100% volunteer organized. 100% of net proceeds are reinvested in the community.

That was fun. Those hills were steep. I'll be ready for the 10K next year. It felt good to cheer other people on as they neared the finish line. I was giddy watching the Minions bop around.

I PR'd my pace in this Firecracker Run by 02:48 (per mile) from my pace during New Year's Race Los Angeles 2012!!! Woot!!!
