My little
Enka girl did her first half marathon on Sunday 10/28/07. The
race was a lot of fun. We spent the whole weekend out in
Folsom, which is right outside of Sacramento. The race was a
loop around Lake Natomas, which is my favorite park in the country.
We practiced the course a couple of times in advance of the
race becuase the area is such a nice place. It is very nice
in the mornings and evenings but it gets brutally hot in the afternoons
in late summer.
The first picture is Setsuko taking a drink on a practice run in
Alameda, followed by a hotel picture and a couple of Alameda training
breaks. The last picture is my Enka girl at mile 7 right
before she fell and scraped her arm. It was one of those good
burning scrapes too. The second from last picture is Miss
Enka out side of the safe way where we were buying a first aid kit to
patch her up. It was her turn to get patched up.
She is always the family doctor.

Of course we have one shot of the well deserved finishing medal with
the orange ribbon in honor of halloween.
