Fun in Fargo? You Becha!!

Running has giving me so many opportunities over the last 4 years and the latest adventure took me to Fargo, ND this weekend.  I got the chance to work as a race expo rep for Bondibands (awesome sweat-wicking headbands and accessories: www.bondiband.com) at the Fargo Marathon. While I was there, I HAD to get a race in, of course.  I had the best time working at the expo and meeting runners from all over the US and Canada and the race was one of the most fun I have done.  

Last weekend I messed up my knee at the Prairie Fire Half in Wichita, so this race was all about finishing and not making it worse.  The Fargo race was a party from start to finish: music throughout the course, residents tailgating in their driveways, friendly volunteers and a huge post-race party.  My knee started talking to me at mile 5 so I started race walking.  I stopped for several photo ops: 

My new favorite sign!

Hanging with a troll with some fellow Norweigans. Uff Da!

My walking buddy, Thor, from mile 9 on. 

A cute dragon mascot selfie. 

The bling!  

Not my slowest race ever considering I walked so much.  Would I run it again? You Becha!
