Saturday morning I bundled up and headed to Decatur for the 10th annual Run with the Dogs Frostbite 5k. The race typically draws around 400 runners and their four legged friends each year with proceeds going to support the sports programs at Decatur High School and Renfroe Middle School. The runners and their dogs braved cold conditions on Saturday but the lack of warmth didn’t stop them from having a good time!
