PhotobucketI ran the Prison Break 10k race on Saturday! And I set a new Kate McGwire world record of 6.2 miles in 56 minutes!! I was so excited! I have run in quite a few races and this was by the far the neatest start to a race. Obviously the race was at the Idaho State Penitentiary. As we were all lined up at the start line, the prison riot squad came marching through the crowd in full gear. It was kind of scary. Then there was a patriotic fly over. The riot squad lit off flares and off we go as the prison escape siren sounded. The first part of the race was through the prison grounds. We ran by a bunch of prisoners out in the yard. That was kind of creepy especially since one of them yelled my name! I was all decked out in Mix 106 gear so I wasn't hard to miss. Then out in the Kunaridean desert we go and 56 minutes later I crossed the finish line!

My day was anything but over after the race. After a quick stop at Zoo Boise for Boo at the Zoo, I was off to one of my favorite events of the year....my Dive Bar Tour! Me and 29 of my closest friends rent a Boise Shuttle Bus and we pick a street and hit all the dive bars on it. This time we picked the dive bars of Nampa/Caldwell. We hit the Airport Lounge, Barbs(loved it), Rockin Rooster(they have karaoke and great jell-O shots), The Monkey Bar (no live monkeys anymore), and Victors Hogs and Horns in Caldwell. We had so much fun! We made some new friends along the way, as you can tell from the pictures and caused as much trouble as we could in one night. Check out the pictures on our myspace page
