Run 2 Rescue & Llano Wine/Clay Festival

Today Chris and I participated in the 1st annual Run 2 Rescue. Their goal is to raise awareness about human trafficking and raise money to help stop it! This year they raised over $15,000 and there will be more donations coming in within the next week. It was a great experience, it was my first 5K and Chris' first 5K since high school (I was a sprinter in high school, only crazy people ran long distances!). Chris and I ran together for the first half mile then I needed to walk a bit. Chris continued running the whole 5K! GO CHRIS!!! I did run/walk intervals since that gave me time to catch my breath and I'm still getting into the whole running thing :-)
Here is our pre-race photo:

After we made our very own peanut butter cup blenders and relaxed on the couch until our good friend Liz texted us and asked if we wanted to go check out the Llano Wine/Clay Festival. We decided to go check it out and there were some AMAZING works of art there. Clay, glass, beading, rocks, painting, and I'm sure more that I'm forgetting. The pottery work was amazing and we saw plenty of things that we wanted to take home! Afterwords we ended up running out to Pheasant Ridge winery and tasting wines out there. There wines overall really are drier than Llano but they're good and Chris liked them so that means that they can't be too dry ;-) They're decently priced and I'm sure that sometime we'll run out there and get a bottle or two!

Finishing a 5K and drinking wine with friends makes for a GREAT Saturday!
