The Gate River Run

Every year, the biggest 15K in the country is, in all places, here. It's a fun race, with lots of live music and camaraderie. This year there were 20,000 runners! I decided to run again to see if I could beat last year's time of 1 hour 39 minutes for the 9.3 miles. It was fortunate that Jason's colleague, who is a big-time runner, and I ran together, because she REALLY pushed me. This year my time was 1 hour 17 minutes... fast enough for a top 10% finish! It was really exhillerating and rewarding. I also got a beautiful "tour" of the city that's been home to us for the last two years, and that we'll leave in the coming months.
