What a day you had mariposai. The conditions sure changed a lot from cold and snow to decent weather. That and the hills made it a tough marathon (as though any marathon is anything else). The pictures of you, arf, the other boomers, and the scenery were great. Your normal bubbly personality sure came through in your report. Congtatulations. TomS

As I said on KR, you are amazing, wonderful and inspiring. A great run in tough conditions. Not a PR for time, but for everything else that counts (including a wonderful evening with wonderful boomers!!!).

Mariposai, What a wonderful report as usual from you! It looked like you had sprouted your butterfly wings and were just floating along out there. It must have been tough to figure out what to wear with such varied conditions, maybe Spareribs will give you a free pass for having to tie something around your waist. Wink

How lucky of you (and vice versa) to be able to run with Arf. A very nice day, thank you for sharing it with us! No mention of any breathing problems... so I'll assume all was ok. I'll bet the snow was sent just for you to keep the pollen away.

Great report and great pictures. It is wonderful to see somebody having such fun at a race especially in less than ideal conditions! Congratulations on your race.

Congrats on a fantastic race butterfly girl! It was so great to be able to keep pace with you for the first half! You are a strong and beautiful runner! Looking at the first photo, I still can't believe the size of those snowflakes! Shocked

Thank you for making the weekend so special for me. Wink

Great run, especially being able to do it with friends. I know you didn't run that way, but the bare feet at the finish like sorta made me cringe. Onward and upward to a certain PR in your next marathon!

Great job, butterfly lady! I love your uplifting spirit, and the picures are beautiful!

Nice smiles through what a change of weather.

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

Bravo, Bravo, Mariposai. I love the report and the pictures. What a great race, and made even better by having all those friends with you. I was actually thinking about you during part of that same time when I was running a little Day After fun run in town. Bravo!
