On September 25 my grandfather celebrated his 80th birthday.  The party was in Minnesota, so, unfortunately, we weren’t able to go.

Instead…

I did the Women’s Half Marathon.  It was a blast- everyone was so excited to be there and so nice!  I walked it because I’m not supposed to exercises too hard right now (having blood pressure issues) but I still finished in just over 3 1/2 hours.  I got a pretty amazing blister on my right foot, so all week I’ve been wearing my Five Fingers shoes.  They’re basically like wearing rubber socks- the insides are perfectly soft and the outsides are sturdy enough to keep your feet clean.  I love them.
