Running Running Running.. and it was hot!!

So last night at 8pm we decided to go to Chalmette, La and run a Bastille Day 2 Mile Race.  Why?!?! Free wine and cheese of course... 

Finding the location was interesting, the GPS took us to an entrance that looked as it had not been open for a long time, so we just drove a circle around the park till we found an entrance that was open. 

It was a small group, probably only 50 runners total and the Chalmette Track Club who sponsored it was great.  We always feel so welcome when we run races in Louisiana.  I finished it in 20:36, which was :36 seconds slower than I had set as my goal.  But crap it was HOT!!  I am not sure how much water I lost, but I will tell you that I was soaked by the finish line. 

But the shirts were great and the beer was cold, and we got a free bottle of wine as a thanks for playing gift!!


All in all it was a good morning to be alive!!
