They bussed us out to the start of the marathon to a very small town...

The road vehicle I guess at the back of the pack... Infamous leg shot... This was probably Mile 2...not many runners ahead of me...And the adventure down the hills which really helped at altitude... My partner through the whole entire race...my shadow... I kind of messed up on this one... Then the runner ahead of me took this picture of me...what a nice guy...he came in ahead of me. Nice schenic route... The rushing water... The yellow flowers, green pastures and mountains...it was amazing... What? Didn't look too tough right? It was with the altitude.Back into town... I think I can see the finish line...Me with the finishers - First and second place females (which I came inbetween both of them) the guy next to me was the person who took my photo and the guy next to him was the person who was chatting with the first place female on the course!!! Seriously, like marathons are not tough enough...AD. Shelly and I after the race...these kids did the 10K race, aren't they smart!
