Shalimar and I went on our annual trip to Healdsburg to race in the Wine Country Marathon and Half-Marathon. This year's races were held on October 10th (10/10/10) - an easy date to remember during our summer of training. Unlike last year, the weather was unseasonably warm and the heat made the race very challenging. The course temperatures ranged between 60 degrees at start time to a high of 96 - a perfect day for a run! Shalimar was trying to set her personal record by beating last year's time of 2:45:02.8 and I was making my third attempt at breaking four hours. I wonder how we did...
