Shannon ran the Uwharrie Rumble Half Marathon today, and took some pictures.

I did not run it due to a defective knee, though I really wish I could have.
Shannon found the race difficult as she wilted in the oppressive humidity and steep hills. She still managed to take 1st in her age group and 4th female in a voluptuous time of 2:12.

Congrats to all the runners who scored pint glasses.
Pint glasses are the best awards a race can hand out. You can't drink beer out of a medal or a trophy.
My time would have been downright Botticellian. Nice work Shannon!
ReplyDeleteAh! You ran this one! I'm so jealous. I really intended to sign up for it. But, family vacation plans prevailed. Great running, Shannon!
ReplyDeleteThis was the weakest retirement from blogdom ever. Fantastic! Glad you are back.
ReplyDeleteShannon, I may missed the only possible chance that I will ever have to beat you to a finish line... way to finish those last 6 miles!
