Our niece, Shana Letnes Erickson, ran in the Madison half-Marathon over the weekend. This, after delivering Ron and Linda Rolfsrud Letnes the sweetest little grandchild last fall. So Mom is totally back in shape, it would seem, and she's just getting warmed up for Grandma's full marathon.
Shana reports: "The conditions were perfect from start to finish (much cooler than when we finished Ironman Wisconsin in 2005!). Anja slept through the entire race, but enjoyed watching rides and people at the "World's Largest Brat Fest" afterwards. Nothing beats a post-race brat!
"This was a good training race for Grandma's . . . lots of gas left in the tank at the finish."
You go, Shana!
