Sarah Palin stopped by Storm Lake, Iowa Sunday morning and ran in the "Jump Right in and Run" half-marathon organized by the Storm Lake Running Club.

Greta posted the above photo earlier on her website.

Sarah ran as "Sarah Heath," her maiden name. The Des Moines Register gives us a copy of the finishing order. Sarah finished second in the Women's 40-49 class. Her time? 1 hour, 45 minutes for the 13.1-mile race.

Sarah tweeted thanks to Storm Lake for their hospitality:

Andrew Malcolm of the L.A. Times published this photo of Sarah and Iowans4Palin's "teledude" and his wife.

As Sarah's supporters know, she is an avid runner, and her dad was a track coach. It's cool that she was able to slip in and compete at this event.
