2010 Healdsburg Wine Country Marathon and Half
Shalimar and I went on our annual trip to Healdsburg to race in the Wine Country Marathon and Half-Marathon.

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...

Back at the hotel... We stayed at America's Best Value Inn. Not a bad place actually and it was within walking distance of the starting line in the morning.

It was really painful getting all the rocks and grit out of the cuts...
