This weekend was full of adventure, lots of bug spray and a few choice swear words along the way, but one of the coolest nights/runs of the year. Molly and I ran the Moonlight Bootlegger 5K Saturday night for our July 5K and after finishing [orange slices and moonshine drink in hand] decided it was the hardest run/course of our lives. Headlamps were required and about 0.2 miles into the course we realized why, we were deep in the woods with only banjo music at each mile marker to guide us.
While we didn't finish at our usual paces/time goals this wasn't like our usual monthly 5K. I came in at 36:27 which landed me in the Top 5 Women and 2nd in my age group. And that my friends is why you always sprint it out to the finish, over took the girl in front of me in the last 0.1 mile for my purple Top 3 finisher mason jar. Headlamps still on, we headed to the car [and then on to Sonic.]
Backs and knees were sore the next morning but so worth it for the memories we made.
Another month, another 5K down.
Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?
