Now I feel like a really bad dad.... I better not even get into how much bourbon I drink...
I prefer Rye, so it's OK
Knob Creek and Bulleit are my two favorite ryes...0 -
@7lenny7 That's really cool! I was confused at first though, because so many of them looked like states that I couldn't figure out what the straight lines were meant to be... I got it though!1
-
@kristinegift I thought they were states too!
@MNlittlefinn I love some fun competition. I'm really happy I'm feeling good. I was barely getting to 50 miles since December where before that I was at 140 - 160
@7lenny7 I just noticed your new profile pix, I like it. the video is a hoot
@whatmerunning why is the race called "running with the cows"?
@poppetsmaster LOL "mattress discounters" LOL
@louubelle16 I think you hit on something you need to relax and enjoy the run to learn to love it again0 -
I forgot the link to the site I used. It will https://www.madewithsisu.com/designs and will sync with either Strava or Runkeeper.2

I was just about to ask. That is so cool!
Unfortunately, most of my routes would be a single dot because I run on the treadmill during the week. Only my weekend jaunts have any shape to them.0 -
I forgot to mention, I just started using Strava, so if anyone wants to add me, my name is Laura Jarrett.2

They do the whole event up in cow motif. There is a grain silo right by the start/finish that is painted with the race logo and there are cow cutouts along the course.
There is a 10 foot tall cow statue in a small pen on a trailer as advertising for a dairy that brought in chocolate milk for all of the runners.
There is a cow mascot, naturally...
Some people wear cow costumes or cow print running gear, although I can find no photos of that to share.
The medal was nice, it has a dangly metal cowbell hanging from the cows neck that clangs against the medal like a cowbell.
All finishers get a cowbell because, well, we all need more cowbell!
So, I guess that is why. Truth be told, it's just a fun event and actually many half regulars from the area claim it as their favorite. I suppose because the theme is unique, but in my opinion the distinctive thing about this event is the post-race food. The event is hosted at the church in this little town and the people put on a potluck of sorts, and a lot of businesses also bring in their food. So you have everything from homemade chili, soups, noodles, etc. along with Subway, Chik-Fil-A and what I can only assume is a local Mexican restaurant had a spread where you could make just about whatever suits your fancy from tacos, burritos, nachos, etc with all of the normal various fillings and wrappers offered. You can actually eat at the end of this one.5 -

My run this evening was so much better than this morning! Good, social run. I definitely was feeling slumpy after 2 days without leaving my apartment, but going to work today and then having this group run tonight has kind of shaken me out of it. Note to self: hermit-itude does not work well for you.
