5k fun

I ran in the Bah Humbug 5k this weekend.
I needed something to motivate me, so I paid $40 to run 3.1 miles. Seems crazy, I know.
but- it was a lot of fun. Despite being suuuper windy- hence me gagging on wind the first mile- I really enjoyed it and remembered why I liked running so much.
Brett & Parker came and cheered me on- Brett ran around the course meeting me at different places. He was pretty much the only fan doing that- so I always knew it was him if I saw someone standing on the side lines cheering.
He's the best.

The grub after the race was the best post-race food ever.
Muffins, bananas, bagels, oranges, and my personal favorite; ice cream sandwiches and ice cream drum sticks! It was awesome gnawing on my drumstick at 10am- and having an excuse to do that.
The race is fun because it's Christmas themed. Some people dressed up, and some ran in teams. One guy was in a potato costume. Random, but it was really a "potato man" costume. With a head covering/mask thing. I wish I would have gotten a picture of him. He ran the whole thing in it too. I think this will be a fun tradition for me and Brett. Maybe next year some family or friends will do it with me?? :)
