Heels and Hills is the 6th half marathon in this crazy adventure. This half marathon is guided and dominated by the female population - only about 47 guys actually did the half marathon! Which was great for us because we manage to rank high in our divisions... I came in 2nd!
The expo was really small, the only vendor was http://www.advocare.com/ .. dont get me wrong! I LOVE Advocare i have enough thought of becoming a distributor for them!!! yeah they sell amazing products. As far as the expo, i just wish they had more people! BUT!! it was a small half marathon - so its understandable.
The morning of the race was unexpectedly cold for May.. so it required running gloves! haha.
The course was simple .. run on the park until it ends and come back - not much to it. The scenery was quite beautiful though.. lots of green trees, lakes, etc. The course was about 98% flat with a few minor hills here and there.. When i originally had signed up - i was actually kinda nervous about the "HILLS" in the name... but really they were not a big deal.
The awesome part of being such a small half marathon - we didnt spend any time trying to weave in and out of people and waste time behind slow runners! ..
The pacegroup was lead by guys... i think they were called "Guys in Skirts" and yep they were wearing skirts.. kinda made me wish i had one on... where can i buy one?? haha
This is the awesome medal that we got! its actually quite cute! .. i am not a big pink fan but i will always play along and go with it!
This is us a the finish line! by the time we finished it was turning out to be a great day! nice temperature, and bright sun! .. awesome end to a great race!
This is run #6 - overall it was a great race - great cause - great gear and medals! can't go wrong with that!!
