I started in the very back. My iPod died so I had to run without my Justin Bieber encouragement (wah!):

That race was tougher than I had imagined. There were rolling hills the whole time. Palo Alto is super flat so I am proud I ran the whole thing without walking. Lisa finished first in her group and third out of all the women (0:25:29). I finished with a time of 0:37:54. That slotted me as 94th out of 140 people total. My goal was to run the whole race and finish before 40 minutes. Two goals accomplished! I never want to run again:

Good for you Shannon I always loved running now I just jog/walk.
You did great! Even without Beiber! I did get my medal on Friday, which was great.
