Saturday was the second of 3 runs this month. Fortunately, it wasn’t quite as hot then as
it is today (111 according to my phone).
But it was close. Upper 90’s to
over 100 depending on where you were.
This was Irvine Lake, which I usually do in the spring. I didn’t want to sign up for their “spring”
run this year, which was the end of February, because I was worried about the
weather. Turned out that was a beautiful
weekend. But I signed up for this one
instead.
The start of the race as in a different location than
normal, which really through me. But we
still ran along much of the normal loop.
This is a run known for the volume of mud they usually had, but they had
less of it than normal this year due to the drought. While that is disappointing, I completely
understand and respect that.
I’d gotten a stain on my white dress shirt, and I’d been
saving it for this run. I got lots of
comments on it before the race, and it was very muddy by the end of the
race. There may have been less mud, but
there was still enough to get muddy.
Plus they still had the mud slide. That’s one of my favorite parts of this
particular run, so I wasn’t disappointed in the slightest.
I must have been part of a crowd. I didn’t feel like it, but I had to wait in
line for the mud slide (totally worth it) and for the showers afterward. However, any other time I looked at those
things, they didn’t have many people if anyone waiting for it at all. Go figure, right?
After the fun of the run, I got to visit my friends Chris
and Erin and Joy and Christopher. We met
up at Chris and Erin’s new house. We had
a late lunch and played games. I was
about to leave when we decided to watch Minions, which I hadn’t seen yet, so I
stuck around. I didn’t get home until
after 11, but it was a great day.
