5K Hypnotic Donut Dash

Ellie and I ran our first 5K together this morning at Fair Park in Dallas.  The Hypnotic Donut Dash started at 8am and went off without a hitch!

Bill had planned to run it with us, but opted for the 1 Mile Fun Run instead.  He was feeling a bit under the weather.  So off we went.  There were three water stations along the way, complete with donut hole stations too!

People went out to have fun and enjoy this awesome Saturday morning weather.  It was just about 50 degrees as the starting gun sounded.  And reached the low 70's by early afternoon!

We stayed for the Chubby Bunny contest, the music, dancing and lots of donuts afterward.  Oh, and the free beer from a local brewery.  Ellie and I stuck to the bananas, granola bars, water and a few donut holes afterward.  Bill decided beer would be a good idea after the 1 mile before the ladies finished the 5K .... and a good time was had by all!

Before the ran our photo with huge Hypnotic Donut blow ups!

The starting line crowds

Since we stayed until the end, Bill was given a case of energy drinks.  Don't ask.  And a Dallas All-Star t-shirt for each of us as well.  Hands full, smiles wide and legs sore we made our way to the car.  From there is was nearly 11am and only a few miles away was a burger place that Ellie and I wanted to take Bill for lunch.

Rodeo Goat is in Dallas and Fort Worth and since we've visited the one in Fort Worth, might as well try the one in Dallas.  Great adventure brought us through part of downtown Dallas we'd never seen.  This included the famous Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge area!
