I’m not exactly the most serious of runners, but give me a nice view and a cute t-shirt, and I’m on board with just about any race you can throw at me. The Whale Run one was right up that alley. It was in Fort Bragg last weekend – right along the coast… and even though the weather wasn’t great, it was still so beautiful. Here are a few pictures from along the way:

As I was coming across the finish line, phone in hand, the announcer made a comment about texting while running. :/

If only he knew how bad I am at texting…

Anyway, I’ve decided I’m about halfway on board with phone photos. You go anywhere these days and all you see are people with there phones taking pictures. I’m usually standing around thinking, ‘what happened to all the cameras in the world!?’

Is this just another sign I’m getting old? Hmm… perhaps.

But I guess I have to give my phone a little credit; they are decent quality. And it’s definitely better than no photos, right?

After the race, we made our way down to the beach. It was so cute seeing my little cousins play in the sand. We didn’t see any whales, unfortunately, but we did see a lot of seals.

After the race, I wore my new favorite shirt! Just need to add an “S” at the end and it would be perfect. Just adding to my crazy dog lady status whenever I can :)

Well if you’re anywhere near the area, I would highly recommend the Whale Run. Halfway through, at the 5K turnaround, I thought about continuing on to the 10K just because it was such a nice run.

What races have you done lately? What should I add to my list?

Until next time,
