This past weekend Kyle & I ran Spokane's infamous Bloomsday road race. We suffered through 7.4 miles (in the 60 degree sun- sounds chilly but we were both sweating- 60 is quite the scorcher for the Northwest this time of year!) and what they call "doomsday hill" (as seen in the drawing) complete with a mascot dressed in a vulture costume at the top to pick off the dying runners. Due to injuries (my knee) and lack of training (we've both been slightly lazy this spring) we didn't finish in our normal speedy time- but we both made it through feeling good, so it was a successful run! It was sad to think that we won't be running Bloomsday next year. For me, this is my 4th time running, but for Kyle he has been running it since he was a kid! It was a bittersweet weekend for sure!
