Bismarck

Marathon #18 in Brad's quest to run one in each of the 50 states is completed.  We spent two nights in Bismarck, North Dakota and I can cross another state off of my list.

Brad blogs about his race here.  I really liked following him on Run Keeper Live to see where he was at all points during the marathon.  

It's race day!  Light rain, cloudy, gloomy:
