Bubble Run with the family - 5k #6

The Bubble Run was - hands down - the most fun of my races yet. Like the heart walk, this was more of an event than a race. It was such a fun family day too. We even broke out Rachel's first pair of sunglasses . . . they got lopsided real fast. 




Since the kids are so little, we only had to register for Blake and myself. With that registration we got a shirt, a bib, a tattoo and a headband. I decided to sport my own headband and Blake decided to forego the tattoo, so Kaleb looked all geared up too.





So, There were so many people there, we had to be let through the starting line in waves. We were in wave 6 (the last wave went through as we were finishing... an hour later)



All the bubbles stuck to the stroller, but we had a nifty little net over it, so my sleeping Rachel was never touched by a sud. 


I ran as much as I could, dodging and weaving in between people, but as soon as you got near a bog (bubble machine thingy) it was backed up and you had to just stand there. Not to mention Kaleb was in and out of the stroller too. So, not a great race for PRs, but a super fun run.



There was White, Pink, Blue, Green, and Yellow Bubble bogs. I had the stroller most of the time, so I didnt go under the main bubbles until we got to the last one, yellow, where Blake took the stroller and told me I had to just wait to be covered. 
So I did.    














And a race wouldn't be complete without the obligatory post race selfie!

And my time and course. Like I said I walked half and stood still a lot, so I'm really not disappointed with this time. :D
