soon after the cherry blossom 5k, hb and i decided it would be good to keep up with our running by doing another 5k. we chose the sweetwater 420fest 5k that goes around the candler park area of atlanta. this neighborhood has really beautiful homes, but y'all, it's uphill and downhill. it was a MUCH tougher 5k than the cherry blossom one! at one point, hb & i were the last two in the race with the police trailing us!! we did give it a go at the end and ended up finishing in an hour!! to be honest, we probably could have done better, but i just didn't have it in me to constantly run, so we walked for a good amount. i never felt so happy to finish a race! included in the entry fee, was a free sweetwater beer...i got the blue, and it was pretty tasty, but after splitting a chicken pita with hb, i had to have my ipa before i left. it is so tasty! if you love grapefruit, then you will love the sweetwater ipa! i also entered in a trivia challenge, and won a car kit and t-shirt from gas south!
here we are sitting after our lunch and trivia!
I think it's so fun that you and HB run together! I'm doing my 10k alone this weekend, but hoping that JF will join me for the 5k NEXT weekend. we will see=) it's always fun to have a partner though.
ReplyDeleteback when my parents forced me to do cross country in 7th grade, i got so annoyed during a race that i completely stopped running and walked as slowly as i could for the rest of the race. i was hoping they'd figure everyone had finished and the other team would pack up and go home and i could just sneak back later. no such luck, unfortunately... although, um, i was DEFINITELY last in that race. had there been police trailing me, i would have been nudged by their bumpers. ;-)
