Too bad they don't have a little bit later start for the parade (or an earlier start for the race). It sounds like you made the best of the situation, though!

Not only am I just getting back to running, I want to enjoy the festivities on the 4th and not worry about needing waking up early.

July 4th is not my favorite as I always remember my father who passed away on that day many years ago. But I do enjoy summer (in general) playing in the back yard or at the lake! Got to have some water around. LOL. Thanks for linking!

I didn't register, figuring I could sign up the day of. But it's just too hard to run in this heat. I hope it isn't like this for my half in a couple of weeks. It could be tough. <br /><br />Your town looks so cute!

I'm sure it was somewhat disappointing, though. <br /><br />We have a race on the 4th -- it's almost always warm, but this year it's going to be pretty ridiculous. There's supposed to be a large group of us going, but I'm thinking some might bail -- and I have to admit it's rather tempting even though it's one of my favorite races!Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096124660145481881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-26546563197625512452018-07-01T13:52:45.146-04:002018-07-01T13:52:45.146-04:00I love this time of year too!
