Not sure if I am just in better shape now, or if it truly was harder than the Manch half. Maybe I will have to try it again next fall to compare! : ) <br />Great blog Amy!!AmyChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07037851599714423746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450866457385584358.post-30189292279314800342012-11-08T18:18:12.640-05:002012-11-08T18:18:12.640-05:00Sounds really tough - congrats on #7!
