Blooms to Brews holds a special place in my heart, because it was the first time I broke 2:00 for the half marathon! Although my finishing time will be slower this year, I'm absolutely looking forward to this flat, fast and scenic race. It's such a blast--the Bold Babes will be there in full force, dressed festively to cheer you on (myself included!), there will be a post-race beer garden, and tons of fabulous enthusiastic volunteers.

Security will be there.
