BLOOMSDAY 2010!!!!!!

We did it!!! My good friend Lisa and I decided to do Bloomsday this year together. Lisa has done over 15years worth of races........and this was my first time! Yeah, can you believe it, I've lived in Spokane my whole life and I've never done Bloomsday. Well this past year or so I've been working hard on being a fit and active person and keeping up with my goals. We had a blast, walked a little over 7 miles in about 2hours 20minutes. We'll see if I'll do it next year, probably. We bought some bus passes when we picked up our packets with our running numbers. We headed out about 7:30am and hopped the bus at the Valley Mall and they dropped us off a few blocks from the race line. And when the race was over we walked a few blocks to get back on the bus and head home. Of course we got ourselves a nice hot coffee.....it was getting cold and a little rainy by then. And we chowed down (at least I did) a nice yummy Pita at Pita Pit for lunch. Thanks again Lisa!!!

Waiting to get started, they have a tradition of throwing around beach balls to keep the crowd awake and energized, lots of fun.

So if you notice my T-shirt it's kind of a weird green, well we got this from Joe's work. They give free T-shirts to the employees and you can order extras for your family for $5 each. Watch later to see what this years 2010 Bloomsday Finisher T-shirts look like.

The tree's of shirts and jackets. Never knew that people throw their clothes in the trees and after the race is over all the cloths get donated.

A cute mom and daughter couple......and notice the back of the black t-shirt to the right of them. It says regretting the Taco Bell I had last night. Funny!!!!

What was this guy thinking, I could barely handle the weight of my little purse I brought to carry my camera and snacks.

Lisa looking cool, getting close to about half way through.

Here comes doomsday hill, crazy view.....and knowing "you" soon have to climb it.

Margo & Mickey Mouse, picture for my boys who love him.

Ironman even made a appearance, my boys are very into the Ironman right now.

These guys were so cool, I don't know if they are from the Star Wars concert group, but their costumes were awesome......and a little scary at the same time. May the force be with you on your Bloomsday journey.

Yes, yes these are a few teenage boys in woman's clothing.........are very own cross dressers. Funny!!

We can see the finish line, can't believe how quick it went.

We are Bloomsday 2010 Finisher's! And notice the color of the T-shirts........I'm wondering if someone knew at Joe's work?? Very strange. Lisa and I had so much fun and we were exercising at the same time. Thanks so much Lisa for making my first time great!!!!!
