Aflac Iron Girl 5K
I did the Aflac IronGirl 5K in Del Mar this last weekend. It was really fun and probably the most organized race with the best swag I have ever done. We got a cool running shirt, a stuffed animal duck that says "AFLAC!", a free ticket to the Del Mar fair and a bunch of awesome other stuff. The race was all women, which was fun. We started in the fairgrounds. The fair opens this Friday so all the food carts were set up with their pictures of deep fried oreos and ice cream bars...a lot of stuff I'd rather be eating than running. But I guess that is why I am running...so I can eat those! :)
For the last mile of the race we ran on the actual racetrack. It was actually much harder than you would think. "Those poor horses" was all I was thinking the whole time I was on the track. It is made of what feels like broken down cardboard mixed with sand - not so kind on a runner. Totally absorbed everything. But I finished it and got a cool medal and got to pose with a duck.
Ok...back to work...
Nice job Marnie!
