Here is the first round of photographic memories of the day! Highlights include but are not limited to:
-a predawn breakfast from the communal bowl of cooked oats and barley (thanks martina!)
-getting my right calf marked with the #12!
-running 12 miles!
-the awesome trio of youngsters banging on their drums in the middle of the woods!
-walking through the aid stations
-stopping for a few seconds to look the stunning views from the overlook!!
-the runner in blue--his name was shawn--he was quite the character.
-the amazing support crew that followed us all around the woods: Aunt Lynn, Martina, Emily, and Elisa. They were the best support crew, hands down!
-starting and finishing around the lake, the colors were beautiful!
-finishing.
-cramming into the car to track and watch the amazing John Howe run the rest of his marathon after finishing with our measly 12 miles!
-having John and Andrew catch up to me during the last 5 miles or so. Running with them was super fun!
-listening to John dialogue about his childhood. Something about peppermint candy and a unicycle.
-the pirates at the last aid station
-the delicious vegan chilli and cookies at the finish line
-swimming in the mountain lake
-mingling with the crowd, trail runners are a unique bunch.
-BEING BLESSED WITH THE ABILITY TO SIMPLY RUN!! THANK YOU JESUS!
