Happy 4/20, everyone! Happy birthday to (among others), my Mom! And Luthor Vandross. And that’s why 4/20 is special to me.
April has been so busy! I am so, so lazy! There are a few races to recap. Rock the Parkway, Mile 0 (zero) 50k, and the Whiskey run 5k.
Rock the Parkway has gotten more attention than usual this year. Mainly because of an incident caught on video of a goose crashing the race! Hilarious! I was too far ahead when that happened. One of the perils of running too fast. I did p.r., though, which is nice.
A lot of my friends volunteered as pacers for the first time. I am a little jealous. I love pacing!
So many of my friends were volunteers at this event! Phil was giving out hugs, Hallie was handing out water, Amanda was being chewed out by a disgruntled motorist. Apparently, he’s a doctor. I wonder…
Finishing the race, I was stormed by fans! My friends, Matt and Emily, and ALL their kids ran the 5k. I wish I could have expressed how great that is, but I had just finished running a half marathon. Oh,well. I’m sure they know.
The post race party was awesome! There was a 360⁰ photo booth, a d.j., food and beer and chocky milk, a photo booth with props (we had a group photo done, it was hilarious!), and plenty of giveaways.
I’m already looking forward to this race next year! Rock the Parkway is definitely one of my favorites!
