  • Comments: Hard course for most folks, definitely not a PR course. Building towards Portland rock n roll for a PR this year. Good to have in the bank.

  • Comments: This is an average Seattle 1/2 marathon. Does not compare the the Rock n Roll events, after you have been to one of those, you get spoiled!

  • Comments: It's a nice race because it's usually right around my birthday. There's something about running a long-ish race on or near your birthday that sort of thumbs your nose at the whole "getting older" biz. I'm so glad I found Lisa and Jenny! They made it FUN! :)
