On May 16th I ran the Famous Potato Marathon in Boise. I went in with low expectations which helped make for a positive experience. I came in first in my age division with a time of 3:51:37; there were only seven in my division (only 114 marathoners total), but that still means I won a 10 pound bag of potatos. I was hoping for under four hours, so I was happy. Having half marathoners to race with helped quite a bit.
After the race, the boys were digging my food. They also had a potato bar, but after a long run- yuck! Knowing I'd get this great picture was my motivation the last several miles.
Thanks to Robby for letting us borrow here DVD and headphones. Brad especially loved watching Cars along the way. We stayed with Nancy and Jonathan and had a great time visiting- Thanks for the hospitality.

I'm glad you had a good experience. I like the bigger races too, but hey, who cares how many were in your division...you still came in first! Now the question is: how quickly can you and Dan plus two two year-olds down 10 lbs of potatoes?
I have yet to do a post on my marathon. Blogging has taken a bit of a back seat to all of the craziness in my life right now!
Wow! That is an awesome time! Don't they allow like 5 hours or something? Wow, potatoes as a prize? That's motivating! LOl
Good job Janet! You totally rock!
You are a machine...I don't know how you do it. Good for you...,enjoy your potatoes..you earned them.
Great job Janet! You're a speedy woman!
