Well Saturday was the big Run Or Dye we all signed up for. I know it has been quite the big hype but wasn't sure how I actually felt about it but it was going to be my sisters first 5K so I wanted to be there to support her,
We got up bright and early because we wanted to be one of the first runners and with the venue change (that they made 2 weeks prior) they were going to bus us in! I know this venue because we often camp there. I knew we would be on trails and well I am definitely not a trail runner. We arrived in the town about 8:00 with hopes to jump on a bus and head on up. Well those hopes were quickly squashed when we stood in line for approximately an hour and 45 minutes until they finally realized, oh sh%$$ there were no buses coming! They sent in reinforcements and we finally made it up the hill.
All of us were already on edge from the wait that we walked right over and jumped in the start line. Then everything redeemed itself. We had fun waiting to be released, music and energy were great and then off we went....and then I hear someone say " You lost your wallet", huh...I look back and my sisters wallet was in her hand. Her dry bag, same as the one we all had. the on one THEY gave us had a hole in it and everything was falling out the bottom. So lets just say her new iphone was nowhere to be found and it made for a very long and stressful 2.08 mike!! Yes, I say 2.08 because that is all the course was!! They didn't even give us a 5k course, not even close!! grrrr We finished up and thank god a nice young girl had my sisters phone!! woohoo. Once again the day redeemed herself.
We headed back over to the buses and that's when things got crazy!! I'm serious, crazy like the hunger games!
People were straight up fighting to get out of that place, there were not enough buses and way to many people!! We finally made a joint decision to jump on a different color bus and hope it took us somewhere close. Well. once looking at the map, we were WAY off. Not even close to where we needed to be, so we decided to send our most smooth talking friend to the front of the bus to smooze the driver. It worked, we gave him a little tippy tip and there we were back to safety and headed to lunch and beer! Seriously, we really earned the beer after that morning!
Sunday was a lazy day. I ran my little guy to soccer pictures and spent the rest of the day drinking my water and finishing up a project! I'm pretty proud of this one, I would keep it if I had enough room but I don't so does anyone want to buy it? (:
