COMMENTS:

Overall, we both did a little better than we expected and it was great to get the lay-of-the-land before September's Half, also put on by the MDI YMCA.  The weather was great--slightly overcast with occasional breezes.  Nana Lois & Gumpy and Nana Mary were AWESOME to come cheer us all on and to deal with the kids during a long, tiring morning.  Nancy's boss even took time off from fishing(?) to show his support for her new habit.  More in-depth comments to follow in a later post (you know, the stuff about how it actually felt).  Right now, we're all really tired and a bit stiff and sore. 

We're going to evensong today in our race shirts.  God will "get" it.


OFFICIAL STATS:

77 9/11 Nancy Soule Marks   41 F  Orono ME 1:19:22 12:47

There were four ladies behind me who all walked and finished together with a time of 1:37:14. 
So I wasn't last, but I was the last runner and I'm totally OK with that.
