To me this year's Indy Mini was more about enjoying the event since I'm working thru some injury pain currently so I came into the race focusing on the best that my body would allow me to run at. I ran my 1st Mini in 2006 at 1:39:34 and in 2007 with a 1:37:14...so this year I was a little off pace but I'm already signed up for the 2009 Indy Mini for some serious payback time!

Kristen ran a fantastic race as she has been working through some terrible left foot plantar facitis(sp?) issues since mid-february also. She said at mile 11 it was so bad that she walked for a quarter mile and then said it was worst to walk and continued to the finishline running in 1:57:57...k figures she lost about two minutes walking...not a PR for her but dang close though :-)

The best part about this whole race weekend was hanging out with great friends as you can see from my pictures above...
