In the middle of August, Drew and I ventured to Vining, MN so I could run in the "Run for the Melon" 5K race. It was a beautiful Saturday morning in central Minnesota. Drew wanted to be my official photographer so I gave him my camera and off I went to run the race. He took about 50 pictures of the trees and the surrounding area and he did manage to take a couple pictures of me during the race.
After the race, participants were given watermelon to eat.
I am almost at the finish line... I finished the race in 27 minutes 10 seconds :-)
My official photographer....
On August 28th, I tried something new... a duathalon. Not just any duathalon...the world's largest... The Minneapolis Duathalon. I ran 3.1 miles, biked 18 miles then ran 3.1 miles. I had two friends from Stewartville who also participated in the race which made the experience a lot of fun. Diana, Doug & Dan were there to cheer me on! I finished the race in 2 hours 20 minutes :-)
Here I just finished biking 18 miles. Now I am heading to the transition area.
All I have left in the race is 3.1 miles.
Here I am posing with Julie & Julie for a picture. Both of these ladies kicked my butt in the race.
Diana and Doug are cheering me on.... just 100 yards left in the race.
