"Let's run the Krispy Kreme Challenge," he said. "It'll be fun, " he said.
So he signed me up. Campbell Soup Kids. 5 Points to anyone who knows what is wrong with our outfits.
Casual 5 miles of running and shoving donuts down your throat simultaneously- doesn't this sound like your ideal Saturday? Oh, let me add that you have to wake up at 7:15 AM on a SATURDAY (okay, this wasn't actually that bad. I think I may be kind of grown up because I wake up on the weekends in single digits now.) Oh, let's also add that it was 17 degrees.
I really like donuts, and I really hate running. We signed up as a
'Dynamic Duo' team- I was hoping this meant he ran the miles, and I ate
the donuts. No dice. We both ran the 5 miles and ate 6 donuts each. Here we are, 2.5 down. I'm not ready for this.
And becuase this is a really cute face....
Dirty people! There were trashcans that they could have used. #rude.
Here we are! All finished up! We finished the 5 miles in 62 minutes. Pretty good for this lady. It's the furthest I've ever run. And to anyone who is thinking "well didn't you take a break in the middle" kiss my rear, I didn't see you out there. And if you were, just kiss it.
Now onto one of the best things about the race! The costumes!! I've got my top 3 picked out.
2nd Place: This cute family. The mom and son were Storm Troopers and the Dad was Darth Vader. Check out their handy way of taking the donuts!!
There was also a Santa in a modified shopping cart and an elf was pushing him. Poor Elf. That was a LOT of work. (Santa had to physical impairments or injuries, he was just a bum. He said he was old and had arthritis from the cold- pretty good response). One of my mini goals was to beat him, and we did. Go team!
See ya next year KKC!
