Saturday's 5K Retro Run

So, my next race is coming up this Saturday!!!

I'm very excited because I haven't been in a race since the awful Oak Mt. race.

I've already ran this route and so I know what to expect... (which is NOT bad)

Not really any hills so it should be a quick easy run!

I'm really going to try and finish this one in 29 mins.

I don't know if I will be able to but I'm going to give it all I got and run my little heart out and pray it's good enough.

NO cokes this week or anything really unhealthy..

That's going to be hard

Here's the fun part about this race... you get to dress up in retro gear!!!

Taking a trip to Thrift Store this week and planning on getting some HOTT bright colored stuff to run it.

I'm really looking forward to it, it's going to be fun.

Not to mention, after the race, we get to eat some YUMMY Jim N Nicks BBQ and hang out.

First race my parents are coming to and this one is different beacause it's at night instead of in the morning.

CAN'T WAIT

If you're interested in running this race also, register

You don't want to miss out of this fun experience

Hope to see you there!

Another 4.5....INCREASING

********Yesterday********
Me, Jackie, Ashley, Natalie, and Natalie Bezet set off on a semi new adventure in Liberty Park
I wanted to change up the route just a little bit to see what all kinds of streets there are out there to run
Come to find out... this Paxton Place is pretty hill-e... ouch!! Let's not forget that the humidity outside yesterday was breath-taking. LITERALLY couldn't hardly breath just being outside, much less running in it.

Our goal was to run it in under 50 mins. WE MADE IT!! 48 mins... keeps getting better
We were all SOAKING wet when we finished and totally disgusting
Worship here we came...

Apparently there's lions, tigers, and bears though in this hood now and we're being warned to watch out:/
Seriously it's the middle of the summer and there aren't that many woods in there anymore...buh

Don't know what we're going to do about that...I love running here and it's perfect location before we go to worship

BE BRAVE I GUESS....WERE RUNNING WITH JESUS

Here is what we ran yesterday

The Accidental Run

So this past Tuesday, I thought it would be cool if we were a little adventurous and found a different route before we went to worship.
Why not Liberty Park since it's just right down the street! Sounded like a great idea...
We had managed to get 8 girls to go running that HOT afternoon. We were dedicated and determind to run 3 miles

Melissa, Maegan, Jackie, Hannah, Ashley, Stephanie, Natalie, and Me

Earlier that day I had searched and found a route that was exactly 3.1 miles...PERFECT! I was pretty familiar with LP, but not so much with the side streets we found out!

I had hand written the directions down and didn't print out the map
BAD IDEA

When you have 7 people depending on you to take them on the right route and then get lost, not a good feeling.

Let's just say what was supposed to be 3.1 miles ended up being 4.52 HAHA
I'll have to admit that it was kinda nice though cause I normally wouldn't have even tried to run that, but know we know that we can and we WILL be from now on!!

What was even funnier to me was the fact that half of them thought I did it on purpose and just tricked them in to thinking we were running 3...HMMMM

I thought they were going to be so mad at me but they actually were glad that I got everyone lost!

Here's the accidental route planned again for this Tuesday coming up!
Let me know if you want to join us!

Trussville 5K Training

This is the 3.1 miles that we all do on a regular basis.
Last night...Me, Hannah, Jackie, Natalie, and Ashley ran.
Althougth I must admit I was dreading the run, 33 mins wasn't that bad for how I was feeling and for how muggy it was outside.

Check out the route..
Come run with us!
