Color Run for the 4th!  

I will NEVER sign up for an official Color Run.  They range between $35-50 and it is not a timed event.  I was so frustrated with all of the colored flour thrown in my face and I couldn't breathe.  Anyway, not very fun and I don't get why they are a big deal....

Del Rio City put on a 5k Color Run for the 4th of July and we decided to take part.  Got there to pay our $10 registration fee and the race was sold out.  They put us on a waiting list.  I laughed and said we should just run it anyway.  Their problem if they were going to send away people without having them pay.

We (David and I) started in the VERY back of the 600 runners and milled our way toward the front.  We never did get to the front pack since the race only measures 2.5 miles.... hahahaha.  Was I surprised?  Well, no, this is Del Rio, there are no surprises anymore.  They color stations were obnoxious and I was caked in colored flour and sweat.  After the race the flour was getting in my eyes and I felt really gross and ugly.

I will do this again next year if I get to run it for free again.

10 miles on the TM next to David.  I didn't notice until mile 6 that he was following my TM workout!  That little sneaky boy.  I would hit the pace up and so would he.  I was proud of him for going so far on a TM without any music or entertainment.  He even told me that the workout wasn't easy!  I was proud of us.   :)  7:20 AP

8 miles.  4 miles were with Marshelle and 4 alone.  So nice to have someone to run with again!  It was rather muggy outside and the sunrise was beautiful.  Went home and sat around and then decided to go run 4 more on my own.  It was breezy and cool.  I listened to the radio on my phone while I ran and that was a nice change.

7:53 AP for 8 miles, felt really good.  Super warm and humid, gotta luv Texas summer.

I saw 5 bunnies and an ARMADILLO!! I am a true Texan now.  That armadillo was alive too, not just roadkill!

8.6 miles around the compound. 80 degrees and 83% humidity, pretty darn soupy.

I saw three bunnies and a FOX!!!! I saw the fox dart across the road and I ran past it looking at me in the brush.  Once I started running away, it followed me!  He kept trotting down the road.  Not gonna lie, this made me rather nervous.

I ran a new way on the perimeter trail I have never gone before and the road just kept going ang going.  Security Forces saw me and made me come and talk to them.  They told me they didn't want people running here anymore because people (illegals) have been jumping over the fence!  Shucks.  Makes me nervous and it is one less place I am able to run.  Please stop thinking our base is the entrance into America, because it is not!

Just 7 at an 8:04 Ap.

I saw another armadillo today and I was watching it sniff about for about 3 minutes.  It came within 5 ft of me.  They are really cute in a weird way...

4 miles on the TM.  I wanted 10 but I feel ill.  Stretched after and that hurt more than my stupid run.

4 miles in the AM with Marshelle.  Too bad we only ran 3 miles together, I just wanted to keep chatting away.

8 evening TM miles.  It felt really easy to run quickly. 1 mile warm up and 6 miles @ 6:55 pace, 1 mile cool down.

I ran up to the Outlets at Traverse Mountain from my parent's house.  Fun little run where I found a big pool jogging belt.  I ran across the highway and almost died. No big deal.

Pretty epic trail run up Timp with Rachel, Cam and Cam's friend.  We mostly hiked up Timp and then jogged down.  Timp seems so long, but it's such a beautiful trail run.  It took us 5:20 to do the whole thing.
