I have wanted to run in the Blue Bell Fun Run 10K for a few
years now. (#bucketlist) Every year I am either busy,
forgot about it, or just miss the race.
This year though I was determined not to miss it so I signed up back in
October of 2016, right when it opened for registration.
However, I almost completely missed it. I wasn’t planning on doing anything this
weekend but got an email about the race and packet pickup on Friday. I looked
at the date…oh wait, the race is tomorrow!
Ooops! I almost forgot. Plans changed from doing nothing to running a
10K that I hadn’t trained for. Oh
well! You never regret a workout!
I woke up at 4:15 am on Saturday morning to make it to
Brenham in time. I wasn’t sure what the traffic situation on 290 would be
(construction for dayzzzz) or the parking at the race. As luck would have it, I got there so early I
had a super close parking spot.
Score! #RockStarParking
The race went well considering that I hadn’t trained. I
didn’t break any records and I probably did really bad compared to my other
races, but I don’t care. The course was
so spectacular that I kept saying thank you prayers to God for making it such a
pretty day. Afterwards my route home
took me part of the way down my favorite parts of the race and I was able to
take some pictures.
After the race I got some chocolate ice cream
(#notplantbased #shameonme #itwasdelicious) and my 10K finishers medal and hit the road.
Check out the race!
It has free, unlimited ice cream for participants and spectators
during/after the race. All proceeds go
to Brenham High School’s athletic department.
PLUS, you get an awesome finishers metal and a t-shirt-we all know how I
feel about finishers medals!
