Grandma's Marathon

Yes, I'm finally posting mileage more than a week later. I will blame my lack of motivation to get the pictures off the camera since I really wanted to post some pictures on this one. Anyway, without further ado, here are some sweet pics from Grandma's marathon last weekend.

Carrie and I showing off our sweet running gear for the race, half of which we bought that night at the local Target in Superior, WI. What you can't really see are the sweet arm warmers I have on that we made from socks. They were grey with yellow polka-dots, and they were amazing. Carrie also bought some amazing tie-died tights to wear in the race. The other sweet part of the pictures is that we are in a dorm at the UofWisconsin-Superior. Yes, the dorms. It was cheaper and better than staying in a seedy hotel room that was drenched in smoke.
On the bus on the way to the race start. We were ready for rain the whole race. The rain stopped just as we got to the start line. Tender mercies.
Walking back to the car after the race, I decided I'd better get a picture.

And.... here's the the catch-up on my mileage:
