And DONE: Half Marathon

[nwhiker]

We did it!

All done, finished, back home, showered, and having tea!

It was great. TBH, it wasn't as hard as I'd expected, and we had absolutely spectacular weather!

Started towards the end of the pack, since we knew we'd be slow, and just walked and walked and walked. The course was interesting, we got to walk down the I5 express lanes.

Dh pointed out that it looked like we were fleeing a Zombie apocalypse from DT Seattle. When he posted that photo to our (large) family group chat, Linnea independently said the same thing.

They had a tracking app and Linnea was clearly following us as we walked! She kept on posting to the family chat where we were and when we were expected to be done etc. That was kinda fun to see.

There are some photos, and I'll put them below the cut, along with all the posts about the training, which I kept private until now.


Before, early this morning.

Where we started... START line in the distance, LOL.

Thank you! I remain in awe of your folks who run marathons! I mean, I also remain in awe of your folks who run, period, but marathons even more so!
