Congrats to all the marathoners...and their athletic supporters!
So, Elvis and I headed down to the beer check at 8:30am. Got down there and parked by 9am. The race started at 7am and we were there for the handing off of the very first beer...at 9:47am. Yay! After that we hit a lull, until about 3 to 3 1/2 hours in...then we finally got the beer drinkers! I had such a good time cheering folks on and passing out beer. The looks we got from some people who thought we were crazy were absolutely classic. Everyone did such a great job. Can't wait for next year!
About 1:15pm it was time to grab a quick bite to eat at Taco Cabana and then time to hit the 2pm hash. What a great day!

Awwww... I love it!!! I wish yall were out at every race... and every run... basically everywhere I go! My marathon relay team is pumped to do their first hash- I got them excited about it :)
It was so much fun yelling for random runners. They had names on their bibs, so once they got close enough, I could yell out individual names.
Oh yeah, and the whole drinking at 9am thing was fun too! Ok, maybe I waited until 9:30am....
Thanks for the beer - I felt a little drinking one since I didn't run the marathon (just the last 7 with my sister). But I figured hey - these guys would disklike me even more if they knew I ran by them and didn't grab one!
You coming to the Pub Run tonight?
Trying to decide between pub run and softball game right now.
Any hashers going to the pub run tonight? I threw some shorts, a tank top and my running shoes in my car...just in case. Oh yeah, and my pirate beads from Snowdown!
We had a few hashers last month (John and another guy) so I bet some will be there.
Softball sucks! Actually I love softball because it is one of the few sports you can play while drinking heavily.
