The Hippie Chick 1/2 and 1/4 marathon was lots of fun. Laura, Cathy, Becky, Susan, Jenn A., Kim, and myself joined the fun this year. The weather was perfect for running. The event was chip timed this year which we thought would make it more accurate.  That proved to not be so. Our very own Laura Moore took 2nd place overall (big surprise ...NOT) but her time along with the other top 6 did not register when their crossed the finish line so official results are not available yet.
I managed to hold Cathy off by 7 seconds (chip time) however if we had all started in the same spot (I headed to the start line with Laura, the rest of the girls started behind lots of walkers) that would have not been the case, but I will take it anyway. Post race food was good as always and even though the Mimosas weren't all that great several of us downed 2-3 anyway.
I have to recognize Susan's husband Ken Ostrand for being a fabulous cheerleader!! It was great to see his enthusiastic face several times in the midst of the race... and Ken... I did eventually catch that lady in front of me and she couldn't recall ever telling you she wanted me to come up and run with her. LOL
Great Job to all the CVR Hippie Chicks!
THANKS TO TIFFANY FOR THE PICS!!
