Autumn Toast!

With the crisp weather in the air... and Autumn officially here, I've decided it's probably time to get started on my "30 before 30" bucket list... before 29 hits and I'm left with only a year to do it all.

Last Friday, Jesse and I completed our first 5K together! Check,  #17!


We ran the Autumn Toast 5K at Barron Ridge Vineyards last week with some of our good friends .... and besides the torrential down-pour with 3 minutes to go, we did pretty good!  We finished in 28 minutes and in 31st place. {Jesse let me go through the shoot first, so technically he was 32nd} The course is a beautiful run through the Virginia wine country... open fields and vineyards! After we finished {and got into some partial dry clothes} we set up a small picnic inside... complete with 6 types of cheese, dips, fruit, veggies, crackers, chips, chicken salad... and 4 bottles of wine.  Yes, there were 4 of us {insert sober driver, aka preggers, Alecia} and we each polished off a bottle... and could have stayed for more if we weren't the only ones left at 9:30pm.

It was a blast, and really fun running together.  Now, that doesn't mean we'll be training for any marathons anytime soon... but maybe another 5K!






We were soaked after the race, so we didn't manage a pic... but we took a few inside! 

One down... a few more to go...
