CHaD relay race!

I started the race off and make really dumb poses for the camera.
Pretty sure the girl in the red shirt went to my high school.
This one is particularly cool.
Oh dear.
The first hand off to Jim hidden behind the women in purple.
Came in with about a 9 minute mile (great for me)
Jim was off for his 6.4 miles. He rocked it up with under an 8 minute mile.
The hand off to McK. She rocked it up in the rain for 3.6 miles

We did it!
After we ran the half marathon in June we were all on a running high and McK, her dad, and K80 signed up to be a team for the CHaD half marathon that benefits the Children Hospital at Dartmouth . September came pretty quickly and K80 asked if I could run her 3 mile leg when her asthma kicked up a fuss. The temperature had risen by the end of last week but the rain came just in time for the run on Saturday. We were soaked through and through and that included Liz, Pete, and Mike who came to watch. I haven't run much this summer and am SO glad I only had 3 miles to run. We ran the 13.2 miles in 2 hours 3 minutes. It was good (but wet) fun!
