Yesterday was the Derby mini marathon and it was a challenge! My friend, Carrie, and I ran together and had a great time, but it was very hot (85 degrees) and there weren't enough drink stops. The race goes through Iroquois park which is very hilly for 3 miles then goes through the in-field of Churchill Downs and then into downtown Louisville. I will post more pictures later (they are on Carrie's camera), but the one below is in front of the twin spires around mile 8. I was whipped after the race, I hadn't trained as much as I did for the Princess Half marathon and I could tell afterwards by how stiff I was. Other than that it was fun and it was wonderful to see JB and the kids at the finish line!!!
