Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon 2012

5:27.01  Oct 7th

Ken gave up his birthday weekend so I could run the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon. It'd been a long time since I'd run a marathon and I wanted to experience it again.

I like trying new venues and Milwaukee was a great choice. I like smaller events and do best training for a fall event vs. spring or summer. I also liked the downward elevation in the last 2 miles of the course. And the medal was AWESOME!!

Community Health Network Green Lake Area 13.1

At the awards ceremony following the Community Heath Network Green Lake Area Half Marathon the race director opened with "Congratulations!" Then he said, "as you know this is not an easy 13.1 miles!"

It was hilly but very pretty. There were many areas with shade and sections along the lake. I loved the event size & location, finisher's medal, hat & long-sleeve tech t!
