The Santiago Marathon

So Stephanie has been writing all the blogs so I figured that I was due to post something.  I have the honor of writing about the race we ran today, the Marathon of Santiago.  We actually ran the 10K race which started right after the marathon.  We did not really train for the race but it didn't matter because the sheer number of people running did not allow us to run very fast.  In my opinion this was better because we ran at a slower pace which let us notice the scenery of some areas of the city that we had not yet seen.  There were 20,000 participants for the race.  It was great weather and was not too hot so it was really a great day for running.  It was a flat course too so they say that its a good place to shoot for a PR not that it mattered to us. 
The Chilean President Sebastian Pinera was there at the race.  He was at the starting line.  Stephanie waved at him but he did not wave back...He must not have recognized her. 
We want to do some other races but we don't know which yet and there are not that many choices so we will see.  Anyways stay tuned. Don't touch that dial.   

This was the starting line.  We are the ones wearing the green shirts.  Can you see us?
