Thanks to the government shutdown we were not able to have the race we were all looking forward to: 8 Hours of Payne. Made me mad to hear of it. I know Bill Bartley and all at Indiana Running Company had spent a lot of time and money on this race and it was a major bummer at first that it was cancelled. But then we got out there and it was a great group run. We ran loops of Paynetown, drank some ultra-fine beer courtesy of Upland Brewery and generally had a great time! I personally met a new friend, Marcy, who had run the Indiana Trail 100!!! She ran one loop with me and is trying to convince met to run the IT 50 mile next April. She even said she would crew for me although she has a title to defend. She got third overall female in the 100 mile. Wow!
Salomon shoes were there and I tried a pair on...very comfy! I may invest in a pair eventually. Bill Bartley was his happy self and made it fun for everyone and I was very proud of my friends: Erin for 2 loops, Chris for 5 loops, Christy for 5 loops and I did 3!
Way fun!!!
