Austin Gorilla Run

Do you care about saving endangered species? Do you like to dress up? Do you like to run? Do you like to kill three birds with one stone?

I answered YES to all of the above, and in return I got the Austin Gorilla Run. It benefits the Mountain Gorilla Conservation Fund and takes place annually in numerous (cool) cities around the world. Austin was competing for the Guinness Book of World Records' most amount of people dressed up in gorilla costumes in one place, but Denver narrowly won. 

It was the funniest race I've ever participated in. I could not stop laughing the entire 3.1 miles. However, I was not laughing at the chaffing on my legs from the costume. Note to self: wear tights rather than Nike shorts underneath.

Creepy much?

Planet of the Apes?

Monkey business

Texas 4000 family--always there to support!

It was a great experience, indeed!
