Comments:

This is a great race that I didn't want to pass up after missing last years. I last ran the race in 2007 at 1:08. I have not trained, but signed up to run with Katherine and Dylan. We stayed together until the hill at state street where Dylan and I pulled ahead of Katherine and then the last .5 I told Dylan to go as I could tell he had a lot more left than I did. Had a great time chatting with Dylan and Katherine throughout. Saw Marna with Layla (Dylan and katherine's 9 mo old) on 3 occasions! It was great, Layla was ringing the cowbell and yelling dadadada as Dylan ran up to her. I felt great throughout and glad that I had friends to run with.

Event comments:

I'm a big fan of this race. It has the best post-race food and fam-friendly atmosphere. I dig it and would recommend it. However, it always starts about 10 min late.
