Notes: HOORAY for Monumental! Mom and I had so much fun at the expo and pasta dinner the night before the race. We also played cards and laughed ourselves silly. Oh, and Mom was constantly looking for things. :-) I wore another fun Betty kit for the race. Also, I was able to meet friends from an online running group, some face-to-face for the first time. In spite of a VERY crowded starting corral, I had a fun race, slowly accelerating with each mile. I felt great and had fun the whole time, in spite of some wind in the face for the last three miles. I saw so many friends on the course, too. It always amazes me when I see friends when I’m among thousands! Also, I completed the Monumental Medal four-year puzzle series. I love the complete set!
