| Route 66 Marathon/Half
Marathon in Tulsa November 21 - 22, 2015 |
|
| Somehow my sister and my mom convinced me to
join their gang who were participating in the Route 66 Marathon / Half
Marathon in Tulsa. We met in Tulsa on a Saturday afternoon and did
the race the following morning. That morning was the coldest day
we'd had so far that winter. Thankfully everyone finished well and
happy, a good time was had by all. |

 |
 |
| A great treat was to meet up with several members of Mom's side of the family who we haven't seen for a long time. Ina, Frog (Linda), Diane, and Amanda to name a few. |

 |
| Time for the race. We're still in our warm hotel room so we're happy. | Here we've made it to the lobby |
 |
 |
|
At the starting line in that huge crowd of thousands, we ran into our cousin Amanda - fun! |
|
 After several minutes, we could finally see the actual starting line |
 |
| We're on our way now! | |
 |
 |
| The course went through some beautiful areas around Route 66 in Tulsa |
Did I mention that we walked it? This was for medical reasons, but it was the way to go! |
 |
 |
| Finished with 13.1 miles! This is where we learned that we had to walk yet another mile to get back to our hotel. Yea. |
These brave ladies did the full marathon, go girls! |
 |
|
| My Uncle Joe (Amanda's dad) made us cool '13.1' bracelets. Mine is very pretty, don't you think?! |
