Who gets up on a Saturday @ 6:15 a.m. to prep to run 3.1 miles? These guys!
As you can see it was beautiful day for a run!
SmithCale and I did well! We didn't know how we would rank, but we were so pleasantly surprised we didn't suck!
Out of 268 participants:
SmithCale finished 57th in 26:54 minutes!
I came in 105th in 29:29 minutes!
I definitely want to do another race soon (which we have one lined up for April already), if nothing else for the free purple/blue gatorade.
We buy the powder and make our own, you know to save the planet and our brains from the neurotoxins in plastics, sadly they only sell the powders in nasty yellow & orange.
We had so much fun! Now we know what goals to set for ourselves and look forward to our next one. By the way, did you know that chocolate milk is popular for refueling after a race? Eww...I don't know about you but after running putting something thick down my throat makes me sick to my stomach!
And, No! I don't want to chick-fil-a sandwich at 9 in the morning. You just ran 3.1 miles, not a marathon people!
Sunday we took a much needed day of reflection and thankfulness. I have been making my way through the New Testament and have found verses that inspire me.
I'll just share with you my FAVORITE:
Romans 12:1-2 "Therefore I urge you brothers in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God- this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
