I did it!!! Actually we all did it! For the fourth year in a row, my family and I participated in Bloomsday in Spokane. The four of us did it way back when we lived here and then have started to participate in it again since my sister moved back in town. Now we've added more people to our walk. My bil, Leialoha, Lana (my bil's mom), Doug (my bil's dad), Ricky, Janelle (his gf) and our smallest runner Kekoa. 2 years ago it took us 2 hours and 45 min., last year we did it in 2 hours and 30 min. My goal this year was under 2 hours.
We started in the last group, but not just in the last group, but in the last part of the last group. There was no one there...it was just us. I crossed the starting line and I was off. I paced myself using my phone at each mile to make sure I would make it. I felt great and finished my first mile at 13 mins and then I hit the crowds, and at each mile marker my time got longer and longer. I made it to the last mile marker and had only 11 miles to make the last 1/2 mile. I sprinted it out to make sure I made it. And unofficially I made it in 1 hour and 54 min.
Yeee haw!!!!
I then got to wait for the rest of the family for another hourish or so! They said that when they came across that they were starting to open the streets and that the ice cream mad was gone! Boo for them.
