I looked for him, but when we were at the expo the only people in the Brooks booth were women...or is there something about John that you aren't telling me...? Wink

BTW, that expo was MUCH bigger this year. The race was 2x as big and the expo looked about that much larger, too. You should run GR next year....

Good point! And thanks, Rick. You should come do GR next year, too! Or at least Riverbank Run. That is a really fun event, too!

Hi-Ya!!
Congrats on your race Kirsten!!! Great race report. Your stats are much better than average - and you're much faster than me. Keep up the good work! And I'm hoping to do a full next year too. Even if I have to quit my job to do it!!

Well done Zoomie, but couldn't you have managed a smile in at least ONE of the pics?
