Thankful Things Thursday - Race Photo Edition

I thought that I would share some of my favorite races in photos with you today.

1. Kaiser Half marathon, I am THANKFUL for this race because it was my first half. It is in Orange Beach, AL right on the beach. I actually did not like this race that much because it was mostly back in the trails, so there wasn't a whole lot of crowd support. If you like a crowd less race, this is it:)
2. Rock n Roll Arizona half marathon relay 2012. I am THANKFUL that I was able to run this race with my sis n law, I love "racecations".
3. Double Bridge, Pensacola FL. I am THANKFUL that I live near the Gulf of Mexico and get to run bridges over the water. Oh and I am THANKFUL for race photographers that get right in your face for photos like these:)
4. Sweetheart race, Gulf Shores AL. I am THANKFUL for the love and support that was at this race. I love running with these ladies all in pink.
5. Leprechaun Chase, Robertsdale AL. I am THANKFUL for dressing up and acting crazy on a Sunday morning. Oh and the keg of beer behind the church.
6. Rock n Roll New Orleans half marathon. I am THANKFUL for matching race shirts and a freaking awesome time. If you want to run a fun race this is it.
7. Rock n Roll San Diego half marathon. I am THANKFUL that I am able to go on "Racecations" with some of my best friends.
8. Pursuit of Fun, Gulfport MS. I am THANKFUL for any races that are at water parks. It is a great  family race.  
9. Red Dress Run, New Orleans. I am THANKFUL that there are crazy races centered around drinking that I can drag my husband and friends too. We had a blast at the "Race".
10. Dirty Girl Mudrun, Atlanta, GA. I am THANKFUL that at 35 yrs old I can still get down and dirty. I have another mud run coming up on Saturday and I am soooo excited.
 11. Last but not least, The Azalea Trail Run 2011, Mobile AL. This was my very first race and I thought I was going to die. I had no idea it would be the start of such a fantastic sport. Thanks Jennifer for inspiring me to run.

  2. I LOVE all these pics! And I LOVE how you have the cutest shirts made for your races!!! My favorite race is the Disney Princess Half Marathon because it's in Disney World and everything is always better in Disney! The race seriously is crowded but full of entertainment! And nothing beats running through Cinderella's castle!!! So glad we are gonna run it together this next year!!!
