Rain or Shine...And God chose rain!

This morning was another Corpus Christi Road Runner Runner of the Year race - the Bill Dodge Memorial Run down by the SEA District. I love running around that area because the route is usually up and down the bayfront! However I weather here in South Texas has been very wet and I was hoping we would be spared but the good Lord said we needed rain! I estimated my time off a girl I was pacing since I didn't have my phone. Unofficially I ran around a 10:16 average which isn't bad. 

My first 5K in a few months...gotta love putting your life on semi hold for a wedding!

Just a few of the puddles we ran through

Downtown Corpus Christi.
If you have never been here the Hooks Baseball team plays at Whataburger Field on the left
and to the right (not pictured) is the famous Brewster Street Ice House

I left my phone in the truck, otherwise it would have been a very expensive run! I do not usually run without music but listening to the rain and thunder wasn't so bad. 

After the almost hour drive home I was cold and hungry! Egg nog in my coffee and yes....3 eggs! 

IAAP posted the race results!!

Finished in 31:12 (average mile split 10:02)

     2nd place in my category of 30 - 34 Female

August Alice Community 5K

So my morning started out a little something like this

It wasn't raining when I left my house which is only maybe three minutes away. This meant that running outside was not going to happen so off to the gym I went.

Sporting my Fabletics pants!

My parents were in town (and my mom has been here all week) so afterwards we all went into Corpus to enjoy the day! 

Met up with my friend Kelly at Fajitaville for snacks and drinks of course!

Color Me Rad 5K

I thought it would be a good idea to put this on however it took almost a week to get it off! Thank goodness I didn't put it on my face!

Color Me Rad held down at Brewster Street Ice House in the SEA District in Corpus Christi was my first color run. It will be my one and only color run. For me, it was hard to breath because of the color bombs and there were not many serious runners who participated. (Plus I ruined a pair of headphones) From what I remember I had a pretty good time (considering the course obstacles) Either way I can say I have one under my belt and I got some pretty cool swag too.

Have you run a color run before? If so, which one? And did you like?
