12th Annual Alabaster Cityfest
|
Last weekend I ran the
12th Annual Alabaster Cityfest 5k. A friend of mine, Gina McDonald from The Biggest Loser, was putting this together so I was ever so happy to go support her! After the race, there's a huge Music Festival featuring Country Music artist Rodney Atkins. I was not able to attend the festival but had a ton of fun at the 5k!

The race was not a super huge event but it was a really smooth 5k. The weather was typical Alabama weather. It started out kinda hazy and overcast that morning but by 8:00am, the sun popped out and it was getting HOT. High 80's. Gonna need some serious hydration after it's over. The race started in Warrior Park parking lot, we ran through a local neighborhood and then finished back up in the same parking lot. Good flat course.

Trak Shak was the local timing sponsor, COLD Powerade and Water provided by Coca cola and
Quest Nutrition bars and Bananas at the Finish Line waiting for us! I've eaten those before but I was able to try a new flavor (Mixed Berry Bliss)...YUM.

I managed to grab second place in my age group. I'm in the 40-45 age bracket so I'll take a medal any day! Running at a 9:15 pace is pushing it for me...I like to run comfortable BUT if I see the bling on the line, I will gun it. Not to mention some chick gave me that "pre-race challenge look" before the race started. I took her down. #DontMessWithThisMom. Lol!

I also got to chat with Paul DeMarco (running for Alabama Congress) after the race was over. I love that our local politicians are active in our community. He's got my vote!

This weekend, I'm getting a 6 mile training run in with the hubs but I've got another local 5k on the calendar in July. This one is a retro funky one so I'm going to get my 80's valley girl running groove on. ;)
Happy Running and Happy Summer.
