Foot Traffic Flat 2011

finisher's medal -- unique, fun, and totally Portland
Five years ago I ran this same Foot Traffic Flat Half Marathon with friends and had a great time.  It was my second time running this race (2003 was the first) and I loved it - totally flat, super fast and a lot of fun.  I wanted to run it again but then I got pregnant and moved out of the state so I haven't been able to until this year.  I took almost a full 10 minutes off my previous best time on this course this year and set a new personal record for myself, by over 4 minutes!  What an awesome way to start the July 4th holiday!
 
Why can't race photos ever be good?
post race with my husband who ran a blistering 1:33 today (new PR for him, too)
