Who would have thought it would drop down into the 30's in the South for 3 days, yeah 3 days only! And it would be during the weekend I have a 10k at the beach and my parents celebrating their anniversary AT the beach. But just like any true runner, you rise and dress for the occasion;),
See, we are not cold, we are at the beach and it is warm! NOT!
After a mile warmup we lined up at the starting line and at 9am and we were off. We had decided to use this as a pace run for our New Orleans Half, and not race! So we took off slow and maintained an 11:15 pace for the 6.2 miles. It was a great run and I am so glad I got to finally run again with my BFF, Jennifer.
Yes we like pink in all shades! Congrats on your first 10K, Jenn!
This race was fun and very non-competitive! I like those ALOT! heehee. Along the way we also met barefoot BOB, I dont think thats his name, but that what we called him, here he is and he was hauling it.
Barefoot Bob, he was cool AND barefoot! My hero...
I crossed the finish at 1:09:53, right where I wanted to be pace wise, and then it was inside to the post race nacho bar party inside the Hangout. If you ever get a chance to visit Gulf Shores AL, you must eat at the Hangout, it is fabulous. I am a firm believer in the whole RUN 4 BEER theory, trust me its a small reason why I run, and the fact that runners drink for free at MOST races, yeah I am all over that! However at this race they had beer AND
HAHAHAHAHA!
I will run FAST for these next time!
All in all this was a fun race with great friends and a great community, cold and all! I will be running this one every year! Get ready girls...
BFF's Mandy and Pammy,love yall!
Until next recap! PEACE!
