I did the girl friend run in Vancover WA today. I met over 22 cyber buddies at the event. Always so good to meet cyber friends in person. We have matching shirts so that we could identify each other it was great. The day was a little colder than I like it. It was in the lower 40's no sun and a little cloudy at the start. Not my ideal dream start for me. I was hoping fo no rain and I did get that so I wont complain to much.

I was the first one to come out of the group. I completed my in 2:01:20. I shaved about 10 minutes off my first half. I'm a little disappointed because I could of made my goal if my nike + wouldn't have just stop working. I took a walk trying to fix it. It happened at mile 12 urrgggggggggggggggg. Thats ok I will set another goal and set it for my next race. I keep kicking myself but I think it is time for me to finally get me a garmin.

The event was only open to 1000 women and it was sold out. It was really nice we received soup and all different kinds of fruits a personal stretch and a massage at the finished line. All ladies on the board this is one that you may want to try to get to next year. The view was beautiful only complaint was that it was all pavements
