I always like to see people from the midwest who are running through the cold (I grew up just west of Mason City, IA) <br /><br />Nice work on the finish! The great thing about a first time distance is that you get an automatic PR! SCORE!<br /><br />Too cool that you were able to see steve in a speedo. Hopefully he didn't have any of his trademark gross foot pictures in his back pocket or something.<br /><br />That cake is a RIOT!The Boring Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13073380265420100975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245707125371369777.post-52021266998192825282010-01-24T18:59:42.421-06:002010-01-24T18:59:42.421-06:00Great Job on the half Julie!
