Race Report: Run Bitches 5K

Bitches are Back

I can't believe it took the Bitches 5 months to plan another race... but what can I say? Bitches are busy. 

This race was scheduled for a week night, so we weren't sure what kind of turnout we would get. Surprisingly, we had a good turnout! And a lot of the people who came, run in a different circle... so we got to meet a bunch of new people. SO COOL.

Per usual, we had glitterfied signs and Red Stag in a paper bag as an energy drink (The Red Stag was emptied!). We also had Reese Peanut Butter Cups, Pixie Stix, and Fun Dip. YES WE ARE A CLICHE. You could have called it the PMS 5K and no one would have batted an eye. 

I had the intention of racing it. But, after running for what seemed like an eternity and looking down at my watch and realizing that I had only been running for 4 minutes... I knew that a PR was not likely. Nonetheless I still ran hard and finished just under 8:00 pace. Not a bad tempo run 10 days after a marathon, I guess.

All-in-all it was a fun night. I am so grateful to have my bitches to run/travel/hang out with... and I love the fact that we are trying to spread that "no drama, no frills, just running" mentality and that people continue to support it and are pretty damn enthusiastic about it! There will be more Bitch Races to come, and it looks like there is enough interest in the shirts, so we might be making up some of those... I'll keep you posted!

Thanks to all the Bitches and Sonsabitches who came out and congrats to the winners!
