The 35th annual Garden of the Gods 10 Mile Run was held Sunday, June 12th, at 7 a.m. The Start/Finish Line was in Memorial Park in Manitou Springs. Approximately 1500+ runners participated. This is my longest run to date, one I've been training for over the last 16 weeks. I'm a first-time runner, so this is a HUGE accomplishment for me! Plus, I've lost 85 lbs., so running is my way of taking/keeping the weight off and staying fit.
