What a fabulous marathon! The weather was beautiful, warm and sunny with just the right amount of cooling breezes. It was a little hilly but no steep or long hills. Only 31 runners finished the full marathon. As is quite typical, I was dead last. But, I still won a medal for first in my age group.
People were encouraged to wear costumes for Halloween. So I dressed in my Hello Kitty outfit. I enjoyed being a little silly. My awesome step family was out there to cheer me at the start and the finish too. Their signs were hilarious. I was wondering if I could improve my time enough to feel comfortable running in Indianapolis next weekend. The Indianapolis race has a 6:30 time limit. In Wisconsin two weeks ago I took 6:57. But today I surprised myself with a time of 6:07! I improved by 50 minutes! This race was warmer with more hills, so I feel encouraged about next week.
