All because of Face Book I decided to Run this race with some fellow Broomfield High School Students. When they first posted about wanting some Broomfield Runners I was so tempted, but the race was on Sunday and I did not want to pay to run a race on Sunday. About two weeks before the race, one of their runners got injured and they posted again, that you did not have to pay, they just really needed someone to take the 9 mile leg spot. Well, I just finished running the 1/2 marathon so I was in shape to do it and I totally justified that since I did not pay for the race it was ok to run a Sunday race. One graduated with me and two were on the Cross Country team with me, and the rest were faces that I knew but are friends now.
I had a 9 mile leg to run and I was running with Jayme Gray. She was a super fast runner in High School so I was a little nervous to run with her. She said she was out of shape and still ran 9 miles 5 minutes faster then me. "Ouch". I was the in-shape one! HA! Once fast always fast.
No matter how not in shape you are.
So this was the "Rock 'n' Roll Marathon so we were running with all the Marathon people. We were the last leg, so I got to finish the race which was totally cool!
I just wish this series "Rock 'n Roll was not on Sunday because it was a BLAST! Lots of music and cheering!
Oh well, What do you do! Just have to start my own Rock 'n Roll race on Saturday. :)
It was fun to see my friend Erin "Bigger" She graduated High school with me. We all went to Dinner the night before at the Spaghetti Factory and I was the only one who brought spouse and kid and Erin was so sweet with Xander. She got him water and crackers! What a great person she is. It was fun to talk to her!
She also totally scored the Broomfield T-shirts for FREE from Charlene Orvis who is the "Coolest" High school Secretary and is still there. I think she has worked there for like 20 years now. If not more.
