Lovely Lisa's Legs in Action

Congratulations Lisa! She has just run a challenging half marathon (13.1 miles). A real marathon is 26.2 miles which Lisa will accomplish in October 2017. Before the race Lisa is nervous and took the day off from running. "Eating a big dinner before a race is advisable," said Lisa "It's important to have enough energy to run 13 miles." Months before the race Lisa ran many miles a day and about 25-30 miles a week. Try to top that! Lisa's bib number was 2002. The reason she had the bib on so people would know where she was. The starting line was in front of Michigan Stadium. Let's go blue! The finish line was at Prickly Pear Cafe. Most of the route traveled along the Huron River. Lisa's time was 2:21:42 and got 22 out of her age group. Way to go Lisa!
