Beaufort

So the Beaufort Twilight run was very cool. It was a little more home grown than the other races I've been to. It was in this neighborhood in Beaufort called "Habersham Village." In this area, there was the center of the village, which had shops and restaurants and then, looping out from the center of the town were roads that led to the neighborhood of unbelievably gorgeous houses. On the second and then third loop of the race, the course took you by the marsh, where the sun was setting. It was beautiful.

My time was not a huge accomplishment at 1:03:52, which means that due to a bought with a sinus infection my pacing was 12:48. I guess it doesn't really matter. I don't really do these races to "beat" anything except a lazy attitude. Although my timing does feel like an indicator that I've been distracted. But, then again, I might just be giving myself a hard time. Anyway, it was a beautiful run.

Also, I got recognized! As you can see in my Tybee run pictures, I wear a turquoise hat when I run usually. My sister-in-law, Melanie gave it to me, and I love it. Well, I was wearing it at Tybee and I wore it Saturday as well, and a woman came up to me and said "Hey, miss! Did you run the Tybee Race?" and when I told her I had, she said that she recognized my hat and that she was behind me at the Tybee run and she was trying to catch up to me the whole time, looking at my hat, and that she would be behind me during this race too! It was a sweet comment. I don't know if she ended up behind me or not... I do have to say, I have really enjoyed getting into this community. As far as I can tell, runners are really friendly people. It's a very supportive community. Everyone is so encouraging and happy. I love it. Everyone wants everyone else to do well. It's very uplifting. It's a whole hell of a lot better than meeting people in bars, in my opinion of course.

Well it's off to work! I have to go in early because my coworkers daughter is sick. Feel better Ally!
