We conquered the "Hill from Hell" or, more aptly, walked up it cursing every step.  Either way, another state was checked off the list.  It was a beautiful day to run, especially since three days prior to the race we were running in -13 degree weather.  It was a change of almost 90 degrees!  It was a great road trip that had us accompanied by Samantha (second in her age group for the 10K) and chauffeured by dad.  Thanks dad for letting us get some much-needed rest!
