Yesterday, I did the runway run with my mom. It was pretty chilly in the morning but we both survived. It was the first run since her foot survey and our first run together. Overall I'd the run was successful!
We got to the maintenance building around 8:30 and had great parking! FYI: Stay in the right lane when you go in! We had no problem getting into the gated area with or without a bib. But you weren't allowed on the airstrip without a bib number. When they lead you over to the start line is when they check you and make sure.
When we got there we had to wait a while for a port-a-potty. After that we hung out in the warmer maintenance building. There were a few freebies inside there. On the other side of the building was a gentleman who had a falcon that worked at the airport. So that was neat to see.
My mom ran it in 35:07 and I ran it in 33:37. After our run we picked our ribbon colour (purple, yellow, lime green, red, turquoise and navy) for out medal, I choose lime green, and we were on our way to the food!!!
They had bananas, bagels and a TON of freebies to take home with you. Here was everything we could grab:
It could have been a personal best run had I ran consistently the two weeks before the run! But maybe next year. I would definitely do this run again. A little boring but still pretty fun and very cool to run alongside planes!
