F.A.M.I.L.Y

Tim and I left straight from Birch Bay to Seattle with his mom and aunt to participate in the inaugural "Rock and Roll" Seattle Marathon (thanks mom for driving all the way home with the kids and watching them while we were gone that weekend!!) We did the half marathon (since we had no training at all!) and it was soooo much fun!! It was Tim's first half marathon and it was cool to be there together! We ran the race together and the run was beautiful! Most of it was all along the river and about mile 8 we even got to see a Bald Eagle sitting in a tree about 10 feet above our heads...but my favorite part of the race was the mile we ran in the freeway express lane tunnel with a local band playing their music inside. The acoustics were awesome and it was dark and loud and there was just so much energy! Tim and I stayed together the whole race and even crossed the finish line at exactly the same time, at just barely over 2 hours (which is more than a 1/2 hour off my time from last year...thanks for keeping me going Tim!) It really was so much fun being together and I can't wait until next year when we do another one! Also i have to give a shout-out (do people still say that??) to Michelle, who came with us and was our team, "manager!" We couldn't have done it without you!!! :)
