4th of July race with my sister!

My sister's birthday is July 3rd. On the 4th, we ran the 4 on the 4th race sponsored by Avery Brewing company. Here we are at the start.

It's a 4K and the course is about a mile from the brewery. The first place male and female finishers each win their weight in beer. Here is the female first place winner. The male winner got 5 cases. :-)

Oh yeah! It was a fun time. The top three in each age group (5 year increments) also each won a case of beer. I'm not fast enough to compete, I finished 13th in my age group, but was happy to partake in the post race festivities.There was free cold beer being poured, huge hot breakfast burritos and fruit salad. Yum!

It was really stinking hot too. It was especially hot walking nearly a mile back to the brewery after the race. But, once we got there, it was all good. We got a seat inside and cooled off while eating and toasting our successful 4K. My sister is just getting into running. She did really well, too. We are in the same age group. She finished just 5 places behind me. Yay! It was a fun loop course so we got to high five each other about 3 times along the way. Here's her game face at the start.

Way to finish strong sista!! Woot! When's the next one? :-)
