Dad and I did the half marathon and mom did the 10k. My goal was to do it in 3 and a half hours and did it in 3 hours 4 minutes. I think the weather made a huge difference. I wasn't completely exhausted and sweating like crazy like I am when I get done in Texas after only 6 miles. The 70 degree temp with a cool breeze was the perfect weather. We started south of Seattle and went up to the shores of Lake Washington where I saw a bald eagle and then through the I90 tunnel, which was a killer (no breeze) and around downtown, then through part of downtown and down the Alaska Way Viaduct to Safco and Quest fields. It was also cool that there were bands all along the way about every mile. I will definitely consider doing it again next year, but think I need to train a little harder. Today is the first day I have been able to walk without my legs feeling like they are going to give out on me by the end of the day!
