Waiting for the start!
Ready. Set. Go...after about 35 sec. or more we crossed the starting line.
I ran the 1/2 Marathon in Boise yesterday with my friend Dolly. I placed 19 of 111 in our age group. I ran it in 1:52:09, I felt really good and am a little sore, stairs are hard, but NO VOMITING!!! If you know me, I do that often after I run, this time I was in better shape and felt good. Dolly is so tough and at 4 miles she started feeling blisters on her feet. At 6 miles she started to slow down a little and she told me to keep going. She finished and had about 6 or 7 blisters on her feet with one popping and bleeding. She is so tough. We have been running together once a week for about a month and a half. She is a good running partner, she placed 49th of the 111 & had a time of 2:08. Thanks Dolly that was fun!
We went down the night before and we were so nervous we had a hard time sleeping. We were talking and then my dad (who came with us last minute) kept waking me up with his snoring. We finally did get to sleep & were up/awake by 5:30/6:00. Thanks dad for driving us to the start and taking pictures of us!

This is awesome...I didn't know you and Dolly were running a 1/2 marathon. Poor Dolly! I can't believe she finished with all of those blisters! You guys are great! I ran one a few years ago and started crying when I ran into the stadium, I was so happy to finish!
You are my hero Mindy!!
