Blues and shoes

Today was the Mississippi Blues Marathon, held primarily on the streets of downtown Jackson. A friend of mine who lives close to the route threw a FUN brunch party! We cheered on the racers, then retired to the comfort of her house to eat cheese grits, eggs, bacon, fruit salad, biscuits, and other goodies. Best marathon I ever went to. :-)

The run is actually getting to be a pretty big deal, certified with US Track and Field. Bands were playing all along the route, and there were artists out selling their wares, too. My sister and some good friends of mine did the half, and I have thoughts that I *might* try to do likewise next year. We shall see!
