This morning we got up relatively early so that Linda could get ready for the Festival del Mar 10 K Fun Run. She has run in this event every year since it was established. If you look back in the blog three years you will see a post called
A Mexican 10K. The first year of this event the 10K was quite a bit farther then an actual 10K so we just wrote it off to being Mexican in nature and that means you never know what you are going to get.
Maggie joined us for the warm up walk down to Centro where the start line was set. There were quite a few runners entered in the event and the whole town was out and about either running or helping as volunteers. Linda joined the running crowd and was joined by her favorite jewelery vendor from the tianga. Maggie and I found Jeff, one of the volleyballers, and wished him luck. Before long the gun sounded and they were off.
Maggie and I walked up the street and watched the runners go by and after Linda passed we went to a coffee shop and sat and talked. When all the runners returned and headed down main street to the finish line we got up and joined the crowd cheering everyone across the line. Jeff did very well in his age group and we even think he may have gotten an award. Linda did real well too! She is still injured and has not been training for races. She jogged the course and felt very good after she had finished.
