Apocalypse Now

Captiol 10 K

Miles : 6.2
Time: 1:01:48

I definitely prefer running down the hill at 15th and Lamar to running up it. While I enjoyed many of the costumes (Frost Bank Tower - wow) my favorites were for sure the four spectators under the Mopac bridge dressed as cows. You just don't get told you're "udderly fantastic" by a man in a cow suit often enough during most races, or really, during most lives.

But as much as I enjoyed the 10k, I was forced to confront the ultimate in saratorial horror; THE RUNNING DRESS! That's right, not a skirt, but a full on dress, in wicking material, and of course, in hot pink. I have lost the will to fight, save yourselves if you can.

Congratulations, Maddie! Just looked at the photos on the statesman and saw the Frost Bank Tower, the man with the weight of the world on his shoulders, the HEB grocery bag lady, the green armadillo, the ladies in the red tutus, but NO picture of the pink running dress! Bummer!
