I only have the utmost respect for our soldiers and what they sacrifice for us on a daily basis. Please know I meant no disrespect to you or your family. I applaud your tenacity to display your support for our troops. I can’t imagine running with blisters, and trust me, if I could get away running in a bikini top, I would totally do it! I don’t know about the flag, though. ;-) Great job on your time despite your injuries! When we meet at our next race, I’m sure you will kick my ass in more ways than one! LOL

I will definitely visit the link you posted and show my support our troops.

The boots added about 5 minutes to my usual race time.

The blisters have healed, a very small pain to endure compared to that which our troops endure daily.

I come from a long line of Marines to include my grandfather, husband and brother. I wore the boots in their honor and as a tribute to all those who have afforded me the freedom to wear such rediculous garb.

My friend does many races in full gear to raise money to support our troops. If I got your attention, mission accomplished!

NOW CHECK OUT THE WEB SITE :-)

See you at the next race and I probably will not be wearing boots so catch me if you can!

Maybe that is why my camera broke during the race…

She had her boots off and socks pulled down to expose her HUGE blisters on her heels with lots of skin peeled off. Thats gotta hurt! What was she thinking?!?

Did seem like I interviewed them, huh? I am quite the multi-tasking runner. I take pics and interview while running! Hmmm…my pace might improve if I just ran for once!

I actually remembered reading about the couple in The Laker last year and I told Tiffany about them. After the race, we bumped into Mrs. Hildebrand in the restroom and she shared that little tid bit with us.

Sent you some pics. Enjoy! :-)

Also curious about the couple who provided H2O for the last 20 yrs @ the 1 mile mark– did you interview them while you were running?

I love that you take pics during your races. You’re so cool.

If you have any pics of Emelina can you email them to me?
