Seattle Half Marathon November 2008







K2 and I ran the Seattle Half Marathon on November 30, 2008. This was by far my favorite course, the hills were just right, and I beat my PR by 3 minutes, setting a new PR of 2:37. I got to meet TeelJay6 from the WW Fitness Message Board at the Expo - she's the auburn haired beauty in green.

Nike Women's Half Marathon - October 2008











Having completed 2 marathons and 1 half marathon as a walker, and training to run for 6 months, here I am at my first half-marathon as a runner. The course was tough and hilly, my chip time was in 2:40. The reward at the finish line was a Tiffany necklace, and the recovery area was full of free goodies, food and a massage if you were willing to wait in line (I was!).
I met some new friends, and found a new passion.
