Last night, I made a last minute decision to use the 5k at the Plano Balloon Festival as my easy run before Race Day. I had the time, and it gave me a chance to take some pictures, figure out where the Run Texas tent was set up, and to see and appreciate some of the hot air balloons.
Love this photo!
Hangin’ with Mike Rouse, the owner of Run Texas.
I enjoyed meeting Aiming H. after the race today. It makes me so happy when I meet people that read my blog. It is like making a new friend that was actually already a friend to begin with.
I am not brave enough to ride up in a hot air balloon. Have you ever ridden in one? Would you do it again?

I know what you mean about meeting other runners. I’m running the Rehoboth Beach Seashore Marathon in December, where tons of my runner friends from social media will be. I’ve never met any of them, so I’m very excited about it!

Are YOU serious? Oh man, I wish you’d be there too. I should have told you sooner. I’d never heard of it until my runner buddies told me about it.

I used to go to Rehoboth every summer when I was younger. I have a lot of family on the east coast.

It was nice being able to enjoy it. The heat was intense. They had a gondola at the start line and kept igniting it. From 20 ft away the heat could be felt immediately.

Really great running this weekend! And awesome photos. It was a fun weekend! I’ve never ridden in a hot air balloon but I suppose I would do it. It is kind of scary to be in the hands of someone relying on wind and fire… 🙂

You are brave! I will happily watch from the ground!
