Race Day

Today's race had me laughing a bit.  First of all it was a race to benefit the local beauty pagent scholarship program so there were a lot of very beautiful girls either participating in the race or there to volunteer.  It was pretty hilarious to see these beauty queens all decked out in their designer sweat suits, full make up, perfect hair -- out there trying to run.  Then there was another set of folks out today -- moms maybe?  At two different times on the race course I saw some middle-aged women wearing their race numbers and in their perfectly pressed work out gear and they were stopped along the race course puffing on cigarettes.  Definitely not your typical race full of athletes today.
