Running


I used to run track and field back in the day, but that was a long time ago. I joined a gym back in January and signed up to run the Seattle Rock n Roll Half Marathon to help motivate me to get into shape. I decided to run an 8k in May to see what it was like to run a race. I ran 9:20 min. miles, but I was not sure how in the world I was going to run a half marathon.I met this lady while waiting to run the half marathon in June. We had to wait in corrals for over an hour before our corral was released. This race was so much fun, but I don't think I'll ever run one again. I was sore for many days afterward. That lovely bruise on my forehead is from opening the van door into my face. Oops!
Lastly, I ran a 10k in August in Snoqualmie. This was a fun race, and the area is really beautiful. I do enjoy running, but my shins do not. After a race I usually cannot run for a week or two, so we'll see if my running days are over.

I don't think they're over. Your shins will adjust and you'll be winning more of those great t-shirts for me---I mean, for you!
