Low Tide 5k Beach Run...

On Saturday we ran another 5k - but this time it was on the Beach! It took place on a portion of the 7 mile stretch of beach out at Lincoln City. It was called 'Low Tide Run' because the tide is suppose to be way out. Well, with that we thought we'd be running on the portion of sand that was pretty firm - but by 8:30 am when the race started, the tide was slowly creeping back in which moved us up towards the softer side of sand.
But no worries - we prevailed and conquered - and I think our bums got a little firmer!

Before the race...Where we ran...
After the race... There was raffle at the end of the race - and we all won...
What better way to end a race than to win Buffet tickets to the Local Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City! ha!
It was a beautiful morning and a really fun run - but running on sand is definitely a challenge -hoo-rah for our 3rd 5K this month. It's now time to sign up for a few more races in July!
