Race Recap Pictures and an Award

May 17, 2010 | Uncategorized

As promised here are my pictures from my “real” camera.
This is before we left the house, in my ROTE mouse”skirt”ears shirt!
It was cloudy so I didn’t wear my hat for once.

a picture of the starting/finish line. You can almost SEE the humidity!

race shirt. I liked how it wasn’t white. White is so boring.

putting our bibs on, hanging out at the car before the start

Bobby after the race. eewww haha!

I wanted to add something very interesting…I PLACED THIRD IN THE 20-29 AGE GROUP! haha! I had no idea! I would have stayed for the awards if I had known! I am supposed to get a plaque or something, we will see what happens. Too funny! It will probably never happen again! Just thought I would share :o)

Hope everyone had a good day. I did 30 minutes of a cardio video and am trying to decide if I want to go run…my ankle says no. hhmmm

    I have placed in a race several times………..in elementary school lol. I would win first and second place in all the sprints and distance runs. Does this count?

      of course it counts! Up until this weekend I would have said the same thing lol!

    Just curious- what do gear do you wear during the race? Ipod holder? watch?

    • runningwithsass says

      May 17, 2010 at 7:45 pm

      what kind of gear or where do I get it?

      I wear a garmin 301, its a little old school but cheaper than the newer ones and still has tons of gadgets
      my iphone holder is actually from TJ maxx. If you hit it right you can get great accessories from there!
      anything else? let me know!

    • runningwithsass says

      May 18, 2010 at 6:34 am

  5. Tina says

    May 18, 2010 at 5:05 am

    Congrats on the race! That placing is awesome. I would be thrilled about that too. 🙂

    You look really cute in the running skirt. And I love the shirt. What an awesome race name too.

    • runningwithsass says

      May 18, 2010 at 6:34 am

      thanks! yeah it their first time having it and besides the not having enough water it was really well done! They had a Christian band playing at the end, it was really nice!

  6. Lindsay says

    May 18, 2010 at 5:11 am

    Wow! Congrats on placing. I’ve never placed in a race. That’s so exciting. I love the running skirt! Too cute!!

    • runningwithsass says

      May 18, 2010 at 6:35 am

      thanks! I love my new skirt, so springy!

    May 18, 2010 at 6:08 am

    I placed once. In a local 10k. I was first in my age division…out of two! Hehehe. I felt very silly getting my award, especially since I had not run a very strong race at all.

    • runningwithsass says

      May 18, 2010 at 6:35 am

      oh no too funny! hey, you still placed!

  8. Michelle says

    May 18, 2010 at 8:32 am

    Congrats on the 3rd place finish! BTW I noticed you had headphones – do you get any flak for wearing them during a race? My first 5k is in a month and I cannot imagine running without my tunes!

    • runningwithsass says

      May 18, 2010 at 8:43 am

      No, but I also have never worn them in a race that specifically asked you not to. I only wear them for little local 5k’s. Both of my halfs I didn’t wear them (I was runnign with other people so we talked the whole time!)

  11. Jenn says

    May 18, 2010 at 6:17 pm

    You are so cute! I love all your race outfits. And big congrats on placing! My apologies if I missed it, but what was your time? 🙂

    • runningwithsass says

      May 18, 2010 at 7:04 pm

      thanks! that’s why it was so funny, I ran a 31 on a rolled ankle and still placed third lol! but hey, placing is placing!

      • Jenn says

        May 20, 2010 at 12:15 pm

        Hey, that’s still great! Good grief, I remember a time when I ran close to 31 with NO injuries, lol. Congrats again on placing – you deserve the confidence/moviation boost. You’re always an inspiration!

        • runningwithsass says

          May 20, 2010 at 1:18 pm

    • runningwithsass says

      May 18, 2010 at 7:53 pm

  13. Lily @ Lily's Health Pad says

    May 18, 2010 at 8:48 pm

    Cute pictures! I love your skirt. 🙂

    Way to go on your 3rd place! I’ve never been able to place in a race. That has got to be so cool.

    • runningwithsass says

      May 19, 2010 at 6:17 am

      thanks! I know exciting right? I am still trying to get my award from the race though lol!

  14. Becky says

    May 19, 2010 at 5:14 pm

    Congratulations on your race!!! That is awesome! I bet Bobby was really proud of you too!!! You guys are so cute! I hope my hubby picks up running with me this summer!

    • runningwithsass says

      May 19, 2010 at 6:26 pm

      ohhh are you trying to turn him into a runner?

  15. Becky says

    May 24, 2010 at 4:40 pm

    Yes!!!!! So far I got him bit by the “soccer bug” – and he is awesome!!! Now I just gotta move to running. The thing is, my hubby is the kind of guy who if there is no ball, then there is no reason to run! 😛 Has Bobby always been a runner? Any suggestions for getting my guy into it? 😛

    • runningwithsass says

      May 24, 2010 at 5:17 pm

      no he gets so bored running. BUT, he loves to compete so he loves races/trianing for them, and we like to spend time together running and we chat while we run, etc. Has he ever done a race? if not, yall need to enter a local 5k or something and he should get bitten by the racing bug if he likes to compete!

Some days I feel strong. Other days, I feel like I Some days I feel strong. Other days, I feel like I’m sprinting to catch up with a finish line that keeps moving.

Turning 40 has me reflecting a lot — where I thought I’d be, where I actually am, and what “success” really means. Who is in charge of making those rules anyway? 👀

I don’t have it all figured out. But I’m learning that I’m not behind. I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
And if you’re struggling with this too… you’re not alone. 💛

Recently, I had the opportunity to enjoy EPCOT’s Recently, I had the opportunity to enjoy EPCOT’s new adults only bar, Geo-82. ✨ 

It’s beautiful, sophisticated, and very nostalgic. The attention to detail is astounding! 

You can even purchase a fireworks package and sip and dine while watching the show with the music piped in and lights dimmed.

My fave? The brown butter old fashioned, complete with spaceship earth stamped ice cube. 🧊 🥃 

Reservations can be made 60 days in advance on the Walt Disney World app, and walk-ins are not accepted at this time. 

I will admit it’s pricey, so something I would save for a special occasion! Very cool experience though and would 10/10 go again!
