The day stared on an iffy note because at 630am...it was raining! Not a heavy rain..but enough to make me reconsider. I'm not a run-in-the-rain runner. But Russ and I went anyway, knowing I could just not run if the rain kept up.
But it didn't. It stopped and the early morning sun came out. So I paid the fee, put the chip on my shoe, and got ready to go!
The group fitness instructor from the gym was there to lead the runners in a pre-race warm up Zumba session. We chatted a bit. Russ took pictures of her doing her routines
Then we got ready to run! The sun was up, it had rained, so it was super steamy. So...the shirt came off! Woot! Things just got more steamy! Besides, I've been working out and dieting, so I think I earned the chance to show off.
Sprinting to the Finish Line!
There were about 750 runners. My time was 21:30 which is not my best. But, in my defense, the course was uphill in both directions! I came in 30th overall and second in my age division (even though they called me up as third and gave me the third place tropy-ette. Ah well.
And that was the end of that! We went to Starbucks for a coffee, then home to kill some monsters in my new favorite game (so far) The Secret World.
