Hoggin and Joggin

For the second year, Life Community Church in Nolensville has hosted a Hoggin and Joggin 12K relay race o benefit the Nolensville Food Pantry.  My friend Vicki won a free entry and asked Katherine and I to join her.  I spend most Saturday mornings chasing these two beautiful women so how could I say no.  Team Soul Sisters was formed.  Here is how the event goes.  Each team is comprised of three team members.  Each team member is required to eat something from a local restaurant and then take off on a 2.5 mile run.  Once all team members are done running then all team members eat a mini cupcake from a local bakery and run across the finish line.  It was a cool morning, perfect for running.  We all actually ran a few miles before the race began.  I was the first runner.  My local restaurant was Mama Javas and I ate a 1/2 of a breakfast wrap.  Peanut Butter, Banana, honey and granola wrapped in a tortilla.  Delicious normally.  However when you are trying to eat it in a hurry, it is a bit challenging to get down.  I ran in and tagged Vicki who then had to eat a fried macaroni and cheese ball and a fried chicken tender from McDougals .  Also delicious but also difficult to eat when you are in a hurry.  After her 2.5 miles, it was Katherine's turn.  Katherine had the Martins BBQ leg.  Her food items were chicken wings and baked beans.  She was a champ!  Don't know if I could have run a step after baked beans but she ran her leg with ease.  Below is a picture of us all running it in after her leg.  We then ate a mini cupcake provided by the Bekary and ran across the finish line.  Definitely not your traditional race but Oh so much fun.  Because every leg started and ended at the same spot we all chatted and goofed off in between legs.  Matt and the kids even came out and watched us finish.  Good morning with Great friends.   

Great day with Great Friends!
