Just home from Brattleboro. What a glorious day for a race, whether runner or walker, for anyone of any age! The Mettawee girls did great. Many had family members or family friends there - some participating alongside.
Yes I did walk! I had a wonderful time mentoring two 6th graders along the way, in addition to cheering on hundreds of girls as they made their way along the 3.1 course.
Sunny, a breeze - no humidity! Plenty of water available. Smiles galore! I get caught up in the moment every year.
I know not all will read this, but thank you to all the well-wishers who crossed my path today. I am very excited about the Marathon tomorrow.
When stopping for the best macaroni and cheese anywhere at the Vermont Country Store we met a couple from Seattle who will be taking part in the Shires!

Shortly I will be headed to Bennington to go pick up my bib number, and Jen's. Then off to Pasta dinner with trainer Lynn and ladies from the Marathon group.
And for the record, I have had 50+ ounces of water so far.
Stay tuned after the weekend for "How Did It Go?" reflection.
