Last night I attended the very first Fleet Feet Mobile LODA fun run in downtown Mobile at Moe's Bar B Q...
Some of our best friends Marjorie and Micaiah recently opened the Mobile store and they have been such a great addition to the Mobile area thus far. So last night was the first fun run. They had a 1 mile, 2.5 mile, and 3.7mile option that ran through the downtown area. I decided to take the littles down there and run the 1 miler with them...
Helena, her sister Kim, and Jared from Nike representing Fleet Feet Mobile...
Fleet Feet had set up a shoe demo with Jared from Nike also. Runners were able to try on a pair of Nike's and actually run in them for feedback on the shoes. This is a awesome way to test out shoes and maybe find a shoe that you love.
Cadence was super excited because they had her size and she was able to test them out too. I think she may have found her next shoe. LOL...
After signing in and getting our raffle tickets for wearing Nike clothes and testing the shoes we headed out on our 1 mile route.
Cadence went ahead with our new friend Kate and I stayed back with Willie, who really isn't into running a straight line yet. LOL! You know the whole my legs hurt, I need to walk, but I can go play football all day with my friends outside and not complain once. I just laughed and said come on kids RUN, heehee!
We also came up on 2 of the youngest fun run runners. Look at how cute they are...
Downtown Mobile is such an amazing are of town. If you havent been down there lately, you should check it out. Last night there were more cyclist and runners down there than cars. Love that!
Here is a few more pics from the event...
They had the Polish Boutique truck parked outside of Moe's, you can see it in the above pic. Cadence talked her daddy into getting her this super cute tank from there. I love it...
Helena representing Fleet Feet...
After running they had quite a few door prizes they were giving away...
I, of course won nothing. LOL! I am not a great door prize winner, but I am just as happy when other people win.
After the fun run was over we stayed at Moe's BBQ for their fun run special which was $2 draft and then they had made a $7 meal deal which included your choice of pork, turkey, chicken, or sausage sandwich, chips, and a drink. It was delicious!
Overall they had about 50 people for the fun run which is a great start. I hope you guys will join all of us next Thursday night at 6:15 for a fun night of running, prizes, beer, and great food. Bring the kids and let them run the 1 miler. My kids had a blast.
