Supposed to be 53 and sunny - so about perfect.

There are 495 registered in the 5K. The 10K, half Marathon, and Marathon are on Sunday.

You rock! I want to do that one day. Hope you do well

 

[Alice Acres]

Thanks!
I think I'm more worried about getting there on time, parking and all that crap.
I'll be glad once it starts.

Run like you stole a spotted doeling! Or you know in our case maybe a sheepie!

So how'd you do? Did you have fun?

 

[Alice Acres]

I ran, I ran!!!

OK, it went better than I had been expecting
5K done (3.1 miles) and finished 374th of 499, 212th woman finisher, and ran it in 35:52. That was better than I had hoped. Breaks down to 11:33 miles. Finished off with family and friends for a celebratory dinner. We are planning another run...maybe late April in Nisswa??

The 3 of us ran it together as planned...we rocked!

Now to get ready for tomorrow's activities - I am taking Chewie and Bond (my two Old English Sheepdogs) to a lure coursing competition. AKC has something called the CAT - Coursing Ability Test - for non-sighthound breeds of dogs. It is so much fun.
Chewie has his title and loves it. He runs the 600 yard course in about 30 seconds...it's awesome!
Rollcall is at 0930, and it's a 2 hour drive to get there. Early morning for us.
