13.1 miles on Jell-O legs would make you jump for Haleighlujah too!

Ashley was my running partner in this particular race. What fun it was to run with her...chat for LONG LONG pre-race runs and complain about how painful this trail was! She kept saying, "We are just Moms!" I think we were the only Moms there. So hard core. This was my first trail-race and I quite liked it for a change. Imagine running a hilly and rocky hike through the woods on an rain-threatening day...we covered so much: HALF a marathons worth! I hardly noticed the fact that my legs were throbbing. I loved it though and especially loved the END, crossing the finish line with these guys cheering me on:

I was the actual #1! (my legs were already starting to swell here! Ha. Not good for the hips and knees. But that won't stop me from running again next year!)
