I did it! I ran a 15k :)   The year started with an 5k in March, so I’ve tripled the length of races I’m running this year.  Considering I’m a lazy bum, I’m pretty happy with that!

A four mile fun run hosted by Fleet Feet Chicago and led by a history buff from the Chicago Tribune.

Starting point at Mrs. O’Leary’s barn “and when the cow kicked over, she winked her eye and said, it’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight, FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!”

There’s me!

We came, we saw, we conquered the trivia – you have HP trivia, J&I know the answers.  Aquamente and Alohamora ought to prove that!!  We were sorted, we pulled mandrakes, we threw quaffles, I bought a chocolate frog and got a Hermione trading card, obvi.  No pictures allowed!  OOPS.
