So many people have been racing, and achieving great results lately, I just don't think I can post them all! I know Mankato was loaded with PR's and age group placements! That's Awesome! I also know several are heading to Surf the Murf this weekend.. make sure you hydrate, that's a long way to trail run!
I'd just like to end the post with a pic that demonstrates what determination, drive, preparation can bring. Angela ran her first marathon at Mankato.. and she crushed it! Steady as a rock... her pace never wavered! Congrats to Team R.E.D.'s newest Boston Qualifier.. Angela Eide!
You'll have to ask Dave & Elaine to explain how Angela came around to becoming a runner just 4 short years ago... it's a great story, then ask Angela the same question and you'll get another great story, although it's quite different!
