Sheri Fulton Camp(HF16294)- Completed my first race of the year at State 47 Las Cruces Half Marathon yesterday. It’s my 13th state in my third round and #240 lifetime half. Not sure I will complete a third round or 300 half marathons, but it’s fun counting them. The course was a flat out and back trail along pecan orchards and scenic views. We even followed the Rio Grande River for a while (not much water though). When we ran into the finish area, we got to run around the track twice before crossing the finish line line. Running on a track is much easier then gravel or dirt. Next up — a weekend off (not sure what I will do with myself), then the following weekend is RNR Arizona, a 5k and half marathon.
