Virginia Peanut Festival 5k/10k

How awesome is it that I have lived in VA a whole 15 days and I can say that I have already run two races?! I ran The Color Run last weekend and today The Virginia Peanut Festival 5k. Today's small town race was sponsored by the YMCA, where it also started and finished.

For it being a small town race I was pleasantly surprised by the nice shirt at packet pick up last night. Good color and even tech fabric.

My "Flat Mama" aka my race attire.

This was the first race that I was able to sport my Sweat Pink Ambassador Race Pink Shirt. I also wore my Moving Comfort Vixen Sports Bra, Phat Girlz Sweaty Band, Soleus GPS 2.0, Oiselle Distance Shorts, Fox River Socks, RoadId, my Brooks Ravenna 3 shoes and of course my Fit Approach Sweat Pink laces.

Proudly holding my award :)

Last week I came very close to beating my lifetime PR. A PR that I set way back my senior year of high school at my very last cross country meet. So I was on a mission to beat it today. And I can proudly say that I did. My old PR was 26:28 and today I crossed the line with an official time of 25:25. AND not only did a break my PR but I was the second place overall female runner in the 5k. The first place female runner was only 20 seconds ahead of me but I just couldn't catch her. She got a slightly larger trophy and a gift certificate for RoadID. And I'm quite happy that she got the RoadID gift certificate because she doesn't have one and I do. Plus she was really nice and we talked about running together next week.

I had an awesome race weekend. Now it's off to enjoy the Peanut Festival festivities. How was your weekend? Did you Sweat Pink? Do you have a RoadId? If not, you really should look into getting on. I feel much safer knowing that someone could reach my husband if something happened to me.

God Bless.
