Gary Bjorkland 1/2 marathon weekend.

Michelle completed the 1/2 marathon up in Duluth as part of Grandma's weekend. I'm impressed with the ease at which she accomplished it. Hard to believe that there wasn't a "why am I doing this?" moment during the race, but that's what she says!

It was extremely hot and muggy for a Duluth morning, but Michelle didn't mind - it usually is pretty chilly running next to Lake Superior at 6:30 in the morning. With a goal of 2:10-2:15, Michelle's time of 2:12 was great for her first attempt at this distance. I do wish I had a picture...running too fast for the slow shutter speed of our digital. Next up for Michelle is the Lake Waconia Triathlon next weekend. Congrats, baby!
