blogging the half-marathon


The Palm Springs Half-Marathon was this weekend and my running buddy and I took to the streets...

highlights:

spotting a shooting star on the way to the course

a small friendly crowd

watching the elite runners head to the finish before we were halfway done

the older gentleman who told us he was glad we passed him cuz he wanted to watch our buns for awhile

jim's green drink- to make it all better

my kids and hubby cheering for me at the finish

as always- kath's reassuring, positive, enthusiatic presence. she kept me going when I wanted to stop. i lost my stuff at mile 12 and she was awesome

up next- IRONGIRL in June...my personal goals- start strong & stay strong, be a better partner for Kath, get a bit faster...
