Boo Run: The Monster Dash Long Run

The team got together for its first long run after the longer twenty miler on Oct 25. We were fortunate to get free entries to the Monster Dash half marathon from Ameriprise Financial. So bright and not so early (thankfully the race only started at 8:45 AM) – Shelley, Kyle, Doobie, Anna, Janelle, Richard and Glen were joined by Becky, Jack and Joey at the start line. Becky, Jack and Joey were faithful to coach Shelley’s training program and had got another three miles under their belts before they ran the half marathon. The weather was really nice for running and there were a lot of runners in costume. We even had a Bolder Marathon Helsinki Alumni – Kate Diehn – run the 10 miler as Vice presidential Nominee Sarah Palin. Hopefully we will be ready for the big hills in Athens after getting past the little hills along the parkway.
