| Getting Ready for the Start! |
Yesterday was another fun run with
Bodies Race Company, the Hero Hustle 5k. The venue was
Eugene T. Mahoney State Park, just outside Ashland, Nebraska and on the outskirts of Omaha, Nebraska. I have only been out there one time before, about 10 or 11 years ago, so I was not sure what to expect. It was beautiful, fun, hilly, and HUMID!
It was about 70 degrees for the start with full sun, but the dewpoints were in the low to mid-60s. So, it was a bit sticky for sure! The course, itself, was great and a bit of a challenge to say the least. Having never run out there before, I was not sure what to expect.

| The Leonardo Medal! |
The first quarter-mile was a gradual downhill with a few ups and downs. After that, we had a climb for the next quarter to half-mile. Several little hills along the way and started to gradually drop from about a mile on until we got to about the two-mile point. From there it was all back uphill to the finish with some more ups and downs. So, yes, it was a little bit of a challenge. However, it had nothing on the
Papillion Half Marathon I ran last month!

So, another fun run in the books and another medal for the board! With this medal, I now have one for each hook and will start doubling up next weekend at the Cornfield Cornfield 10k! I am inching closer to September and really hoping that I can actually complete the marathon this year. I was quite disappointed last year when I made it to the 21-mile water stop and they shuttled us off the course in buses. I just have to keep my eye on the prize and keep moving forward.
