We have some friends in Utah that just started a company that does 5k races all over the country. It's called Neon Vibe and it's a night time race with glow in the dark chalk that everyone throws all over each other and it's pretty much just a big party! They asked Brian and me to help out with one of their races in Ohio a while back and we had so much fun. So when they asked us to fly to Peoria, IL to help with another one, we were really excited! It's a lot of work, long days, but it's a blast!
Our flight left Columbus really early in the morning. We were getting ready to leave and Brian got a call from the airline saying our flight was seriously delayed. Luckily, Brian was able to get us on another flight that ended up being a shorter flight anyway.
We got to Peoria and went straight to work. We spent Friday doing packet pick up and then we went to dinner at a really nice steak house downtown with the Neon Vibe team. The next day we did the race. After we finished at about 2 am, we hit up a Steak N Shake with the team.
On Sunday, we didn't have to be to the airport until pretty late that evening so we went to the Peoria zoo with Collin and Addi.
Then it was home again! Our flight got in around midnight. Brian had to be at work the next morning which made for a little bit of a rough start to our week, but it was definitely worth it. I'm actually going to be helping out with the rest of the races for the year! Brian can't take work off to do anymore so I will be flying solo on the rest of them, but I'm super excited to do some traveling! I'm heading to Oak Ridge, TN this weekend so look for a post about that soon!
