I did one with my sister a couple years ago when I was just starting to run. All I would suggest is having a good at-home crew to go along with it!Megan Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01733285819106564601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141971839070256791.post-63455937473725412642008-08-26T21:15:00.000-07:002008-08-26T21:15:00.000-07:00Loved your race report.

You have to actually run hard for the entire stinking race!

Not only in races but in everyday life. I can't even tell you how many of them I've knocked over because they bolt in front of me while walking :PMarcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148093449696230770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141971839070256791.post-90718576116096012082008-08-25T11:32:00.000-07:002008-08-25T11:32:00.000-07:00I LOVED having my heffer girls over for brunch!

Many thanks to Mona - images of mimosas and pancakes kept my feet moving - I'm sure I was faster this year than last - thanks for the encouragement from all the Heffers!

I SO wanted to do it-but we had our wrap party for mad men last night and I stayed out WAY too late and didn't get enough sleep-so the thought of getting up at 5am or so and driving 2 hours wasn't at the top of my list!!! But I will get down there to run a race with you guys! because you sound like you have such a blast!!!!! Congrats on a great, fun race!!!

This was after confirming with Madge the night before to be at her house @ 6:45 but throwing back the covers @ 7am with a "oh crap i'm late!". Lakeside to La Mesa in 15 minutes.<BR/><BR/>We get to the race, find a place to park and try to find Michelle, her mom and Isa. That was when i sent my first text... and yes Alice- it was to screw with you! :) Isa had to potty (being 3y/o and all), and the by the time we crossed the starting line, the starting line was already deflated.:) That is why you never saw us... we brought up the rear. Did you know that the ambulance MUST also bring up the rear? The loud stinky ambulance? Really... they were so close we made friends and had our own entourage by mile 3. In fact, we crossed the finish line with the Mile 3 Marker, the Mile 3 timer and several other race volunteers. <BR/><BR/>Sorry we missed you guys. I think by the time we were in the bus, you were on your ways to Mona's. <BR/><BR/>I have to ask though- did anyone else notice the Flock of Seagulls volunteer along the route?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141971839070256791.post-78817163378125318812008-08-24T16:15:00.000-07:002008-08-24T16:15:00.000-07:00Alice...I LOVE your blog.

Thank you for the Lemon Drop recipe, I may have to make them for my after 1/2 marathon season party. <BR/><BR/>If you read my blog let me know if this is your first Nike Womens. I loved that race, both the full and the half.

They were probably in the PB Bar and Grill having the free beers! This race is dedicated to Mona - that was a great breakfast - although I was a little worried when she first said we had to "split" the pancakes???? Hasn't she seen me eat?!!! Let's add... it took forever for Mik and Alice to get OJ and Champagne at the store - I was wating in the car for almost 15 minutes??? What the heck! BTW - Mik - the party for Momma is at 11:56am by your watch!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
