shannon was the hostess with the mostess....truly took care of us!
when we landed...we went out to coffee; accompanied with the LARGEST pasties i have ever seen.
oh my word.
the coffee cake almost didn't fit into the to-go box.
sarah choose their famous pumpkin chai muffin, it was HUGE!

shannon took us around downtown boise, we shopped around, walked around and were able to see this huge mural which she worked on for a good portion of her time in boise.
she designed part of the tree (free handed the hearts!) miss talented, she is!

and then the race....
i had a goal, of 2 hours 15 minutes....and missed it by 8 minutes...
so i am going to try again hopefully in june or july.
regardless of the time, i am super proud of my accomplishment, i trained and i finished and i wasn't hurt, sore or sick after (so ALL good things)
