The cold. The rain. The wind. I salute all of you who braved it (and are still currently braving it)!

Carly (far right) ran with her friend Daniel and her sister Anna for Anna’s first half (Carly’s fifth — she ran the Labor Day Half with me). Their speedy little cross-country star brother Conner ran the half in some ridiculous time. And I was cold and wet just watching them!
I would’ve loved to stay and watch Meg and Vicki finish the marathon, but I’m so paranoid about getting sick before Las Vegas. It would have been several more hours before I saw either of them finish, I was already wet and cold and Carly’s dad kindly offered me a ride home… hope you ladies will forgive me, and I can’t wait to hear/read about how you did!
I can’t imagine running 26.2 in this weather, so, seriously, my hat’s off to everyone out there today.
And next year… go to Vegas instead!!
