hodson half and spotted cow



this morning i lept out of bed and drove around until i found the 12th mile mark for the hodson half-marathon. katelyn was there throwing gatorade and water at runners and stressing over the fact that they sent the 1st five runners the wrong direction. i then promptly hopped back into the car and raced into a parking space, JUST to miss kayla and bobby crossing the finish line.

Bethany's Awards Ceremony
Cutest Couple (nominated by Emily Schrock): Kayla and Bobby. Kayla Johnson, my beloved roommate and dear friend, sprinted the end with Bobby and immediately heaved onto the pavement. What a finish for the two of them.
Tear-Jerker Finish: Shawn Clark pushed Lauren Pena in a wheel chair the entire marathon and finished in 2 hours, 7 minutes. His remark afterward, "That felt great!"
The Noelle Hagen Award (to the most serious marathon runner): Natalie Collins
Chariots of Fire Award: Aaron Morrison raced past David Mui to finish 1 hour, 33 minutes. An hour after it was over, he was still gripping the wall and hollering.

The spotted cow included many bands (The Seedy Seeds!!), henna, an outdoor lounge, inflatable games (oh... which I didn't do...), and WIND. It was windy. It was so windy. It was ridiculously windy. I don't really remember anything but the wind. But it was good times.

On the right are a couple of the Spotted Cow posters. I have, indeed, collected all six from all over campus.
