| The "medals" for the Diva Dash 5K |
It was hard to stay warm while waiting for the race to get underway. I ran a warm-up and waited with a few hundred women for this inaugural women only 5K to begin.
Shivering, we lined and waited for the signal--ON YOUR MARK....GO!!! We were off, fingers numb and eyelashes dewing up from condensation. The first half was almost entirely into the wind, but when the runners turned the corner, we finally felt a bit of relief from the bitter cold.
My goal was to go sub-21 minutes and place. I didn't go sub-21, but I did get first in my age group. The metal was a snazzy, gold, little shoe--very diva! I also won a free headband from Lululemon (just might be my new favorite running clothes store) and a gift certificate for a road ID (finally, my husband can rest a little easier.)

| Look at that cute little "medal" |
It was fun to spend a morning being healthy with a big group of women. Despite the cold, we all got out there and did something good for ourselves!

Okay, as much as I despise high heels and sandals, those are some seriously awesome medals.
ReplyDeleteAnd the cupcakes look awesome, too!
Congratulations on another successful race, girl!
yummmmmmm cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first place finish! The medal and extras look fabulous :) Mmm, cupcakes
ReplyDeleteok... how cute are those diva medals? lol... congrats on getting first place in your AG!! :) Those cupcakes look delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh lululemon. Such a danger to my bank account. I am going to run almost solely in their tanktops this summer, I think.
ReplyDelete(Best thing? The clothes DON'T SMELL after you run. Ever. Like, I had a wadded up shirt in the corner of my gym bag for a week and there wasn't even a hint of stink. AWESOME!)
Sounds like a great race- cute bling, awesome swag and cupcakes!! Sign me up!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your AG placing! You rock!
Lululemon is my favourite! Too bad it's so stinkin' expensive! Worth it though!
Ok I totally need to run this race!!! I LOVE the medals!!! Way to go on an awesome...but chilly...race!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job!! And yeah, lululemon. I don't have enough words to express my love for that place...
ReplyDeletewow those medals are AWESOME!!! Man, I should have ran the Diva Dash! I did a 5K in Lawrence instead and I have to agree with about the wind! You'll break 21 another day :)
