Weather: 31 °, overcast, breezy Notes: I signed up for this race because Let's Go Leader Jimmy suggested that I try it. He said it would give me a good idea of what it's like to run with a large group of people. There were lots of people in costume, so I was constantly entertained during the race. At Mile Marker 2, my watch said 17:56. I couldn't believe it! Just before Mile Marker 4, I noticed, "MINI - MILE 12" painted on the ground. I thought, "Holy cow, next time I'm here, I'll be exhausted!" The hill near the end got me, but I still finished strong. Photos: 6 — See below. |
