Santa Run West Valley

There seems to be a little bit of moisture on the ground... O man it rained I can't believe it rained. I was still on my way to EMZ then off to Valley Fair mall to run a 5k & pass chips out. I have asked a few ladies to come run with me. It should be a fun morning. EMZ went great but then when I came out the rain seem to have picked up. It is not going to be fun to pass out chips and run in the rain. Lucky enough by the time I went home and grabbed everything and got to Valley Fair to set up the rain had stopped. We set up and waited for the race to start. While waiting for the race to start us ladies had to do a little pretending so we could get pictures..

Of course had to set up first and get bags of chips ready to go for Tim's Cascade snacks Chip give away.

Pretending to run. We had so much fun taking pictures While everyone else was listening to instructions and race map information. We will just figure it out having lots more fun taking picture instead.

Showing our numbers, getting ready to run.

Crossing the finish line.. (Pretending to anyway)

Getting ready for the race to start. Lots of Santas at Valley Fair Mall today.

Off and running.

Happy Ladies smiling for the camera.

And the race has started....

They had Milk and cookies at the "water break" stations glad I didn't need any water. I do think they had water also.

                                        Almost done...

It is such a great feeling to cross a finish line.. I love it! After crossing the finish line I have always went and found anyone I have been running with and run with them so I did this. But NOTE to self make sure your time is accounted for before you go find your friends. I did not get counted on my time I thought they had it but turns out they didn't so  lesson learned.

Crossing with Betsy... I still don't go get my time recorded...

                       Went and found the rest of the gang..

We all cross the finish line together. A sucessfull race. I finally figure out that my time was not recorded and get it recorded at around 44min. I did not write it down or remember since it was not my real time.

We all finished had a great time, time for more snap shots

Group hug. The photographer actually asked us to do a group hug so he could take our pictures. Of course I had my son grabing the same pose.

     I thought this was a fun picture of all of us. They took it at the end of the run.

Helping the boys pass out chips and snapping photos of other Santa's with the chips. Love this job Love Tim's chips!
