My coworker and friend, Carrie James, and I ran in the Fargo Marathon this weekend. We were a bit leary as the weather was forcasted to be hot and windy, but actually it was raining when we started, which was nice, but very windy by the end! We were both very nervous, not knowing what to expect. We met some very nice people, many Canadians, eh? The people of Fargo were very welcoming, with music, well wishes and sprinklers for us to cool off under. They seemed to have a good time. I had to ask myself, "Who drinks beer at 10:00 am while watching a marathon?" Especially when all I wanted to do was crawl up on their lawn and take a nap! Carrie and I were pretty pooped during the 2nd half of the race, but emotions took over and ran high as we rounded the curve to the finish line in the Fargodome. It's pretty cool to see your time and hear your name, age and hometown announced over the loudspeaker. I cried like a baby!
I have to thank Carrie for hangin in there with me. Although she was the one who initially suggested we run the race, I was the one who really wanted to check it off my bucket list!
Here is a link to my finishing time and stats. We didn't win, but did finish!
Carrie kept telling me, "Never again," but who knows? Maybe?
The James Gang-thanks for the support!
