Beach Palooza

A bunch of us drove up to Long Beach this past weekend for the Beach Palooza.  Let me tell you, running on soft sand majorly sucks.  Not that I really trained hard for this 5K obstacle course but we did want to make an attempt to complete it in a somewhat reasonable time.  The last 5k obstacle course we did was Warrior Dash where we clocked in a slow time due to the fact that everyone waited for everyone.  Haha.  This time around we wanted to make an attempt.  I think my “training” went as far as running maybe once a month on average.  The most I had run in one duration was roughly 2.7 miles.  But man, running on the soft sand was so hard!  I couldn’t do it for very long at all.  And the obstacles were so far apart and then they weren’t even as cool or fun.  Boo.  I gave Beach Palooza pretty bad reviews in their survey, haha.  But it was still fun to just hang out with everyone, get a pineapple hat, and t-shirt.

I also bumped into 2 people from high school that I haven’t seen since…high school.  Random!

I should probably keep up with some running but its going to be hard.

And I’m really only blogging about this so I can look back and remember what I did in 2011.  Haha.
