Notes: This was my first Marathon long run with the Striders. I found a nice group of gals to run with and we averaged a pretty good pace, and only stopping for water a few times. Overall, I really enjoyed this run and the reward afterwards was the HARRA Party in the Park, complete with ice cold beer and plenty of food. Good times for all, and I helped collect some of the awards that the Striders won as a club this past spring! Go Striders:)
