I talked my friend Lindsay into doing a half marathon with me. I didn't want to train though... Luckily, the race offered a "walking start" that was an hour earlier than the regular start. We definitely took advantage of that. And we did run part of the way. But there's no way I could've run the whole time (like in the other half marathon I did that one time...).
The race started at Goose Lake and ended at Kincaid Park Chalet. It was really cool to see parts of the Anchorage trail system that I had never seen before.
Here are some pictures...

| Westchester Lagoon with the Chugach Mtns. in the back. (Just past mile 4 where we left Chester Creek Trail and continued on Tony Knowles Coastal Trail.) |
 |
| Cook Inlet (mostly mudflats though) with Mt. Sustina. And in the light part you could see the Todrillo Mtns...but they didn't show up in my picture. Sad! |
 |
| Lindsay with the Cook Inlet and Fire Island in the background. |
 |
| Yay! Only 1 (and .1) mile left to go! And it was uphill almost the whole way...Lame! |
 |
| We dressed up as Zombie chefs (and I did some crazy hair and makeup-that lasted through the race...surprisingly enough...) Brains served fresh daily...Yum. (not really) |
I don't think my body appreciates what happened to it today. I hope I can walk later...
