Chick Fil A Run in Athens, GAA

Chick Fil A originated in Georgia, so what better way to celebrate than to do a Chick Fil A fun. The kids got to run the kids fun run (1 mile) in pouring rain. They were supposed to get prizes for their costume, but the organizers forgot. In the end, they gave the kids some cow bells that they were able to use when mom ran her half-marathon.

Look! A junior Chick Fil A cow. That was pretty special.

Lisa had to get up extra early for the starting line. The cow were all out there, celebrating with the runners. She had no idea how hilly Athens, Georgia was. Next time we do a race, we check out the hills. 

A few thousand people came out for the race. It's next to a university, so lots of students participated in this race.  During the race, the cows would cheer us on. They also threw cow toys at us. During one point of the race, they were giving out chicken nuggets. One lady in front of Lisa ate one and quickly upchucked the nugget. Eating food during a race is usually not a good combo. Lisa decided to wait until after the race to eat the complimentary Chick Fil A food. haha!  Yes, at the end of the race, all the runners got a sandwich and gift certs to go get our desserts. It was worth the trip to run with cows in Georgia.
