Well this was the first time I did this 8K course last year I did the 5K and it was about 95 out. This year temps much cooler and a little breeze. what was fun was it was on a parade route and many people lined up to see us runners come down the course. Many kids out wanting to high five you as you went by it was a lot of fun. considering I am 20 lbs heavier than last year and not been running much the last few months I was Pleased with my time and there was not walking invovled at all! There was a few inclines but nothing I was not able to handle. I also did not have my Ipod shuffle with me and really did not need it. I enjoyed the scenery as it is just wonderful to lookout over the waters of downtown Seattle.

have trained better and be 20 lbs lighter. that is nexts years goal!

got across the finish line and met Jerry, I pciked up some water and just walked around legs felt fine


being 20 lbs lighter would of been a big help : )


Next year I plan to be back at this race and 20 lbs liter!
