The Wounded Warrior Half Mararthon 2013

The Wounded Warrior Half Mararthon was in a word: WET!

You have to feel bad for the Dallas Athletes! They put together a spectacular rae and planned for hot and humid. It rained. At 6:45am it was pouring buckets with thunder and lightening! Crazy! We all hung out in the parking garage at the Marriott. I'm sure they loved that! The race was delayed 15 min, then a half hour, then an hour to let the severe weather cell go through. Hanging out with a few thousand of my closest friends in a parking garage...love it!

The race started in a drizzle.....then a downpour! The race was awwesome because it was mostly on trails....oops they flooded. We went around one large floodde area and through two others. I hate wet feet!

It was awesome to see lots of people from Team in Training and many military groups! One group of guys carried three very wet American Flags along the entire course. I bet their shoulders hurt! I was also so happy to see lots of friendly faces at the Lake Grapevine Runners and Walkers Aid station! Thanks Guys!!!

I high fived a lot of people and then came upon one of my patients who wasn't supposed to be running (a small tendon tear...oops) and she was beating me!! Crazy tough girl. Tomorrow she gets a cast, but today a medal!

A crazy day, but a good time was had by all. Sometimes the most zany races are the best!! Love it!
