Seattle is really beautiful (even in the dark and wet)

That's what makes us Seattleites, we actually like the weather that we have. A little dark and wet, no problem, it actually makes us feel good! :)

This Sunday's run/walk was amazing,, all the things we like about the weather, plus the other thing Seattle is famous for - hills!


Lovely fall morning!

Fall colors and rain....

 Seems like we are getting into the fall/winter pattern: spin classes, cool and wet runs and training for the Seattle Marathon. The redeeming part of all of this is that it is plain ole beautiful out there, yes even in the rain!

Fall races

Busy two weekends for races.

Last Sunday 'becca and Cindy did the full Portland Marathon and Betty, Susanna and Chrissy did the Portland half marathon. It was drizzly weather and a little cool, but good for running! Everyone did splendid and had a fun time.

This Saturday at the Leavenworth Oktoberfest Marathon, Terry ran an awesome race in the full and a whole slew of us finished the 1/2 marathon under sunny skies and beautiful views. Congratulations to
Ann J, Barbara C, Cheryl, Deb F, Helen H, Jenn M, Joan R, Karen D, Lisa D, Lisa J, Lynn-dee, Misha H, Nancy R, and Sara Z.

And today, June M smiled her way around the hilly course of Run for a Soldier 1/2 Marathon in Gig Harbor and Anita B had her hilly 1/2 marathon race in the Poulsbo Marathon.






Next up the Seattle Marathon!!! We are getting ready!
