Seattle Marathon 2009

Considering how much I have on, it’s a wonder I kept running. I didn’t train enough but I did the Seattle Marathon today.  I had a great day all things considered. I knew the toughest part of the course so I didn’t hit the wall, and I didn’t fall and hurt myself (as I did when I ran in Seattle 3 weeks ago). The course is very hilly, takes you through tunnels and bridges, parks and the city.  But it was great overall.

 

The weekend was spent in Seattle with my running group; there were 8 of us all together. It was my first time staying in a hotel in Seattle, and it was a lovely experience — as much as I love hanging with my friends it was nice to be with the running group.  And the hotel was close to the start line.

 

Anyhow this is probably my last post until Finals are done but I had to briefly comment that MARATHON #2 IS DONE! No PB but given I hardly could train while in school, I’m pretty happy with 4:48:29. My During-Nursing-School-PB. Let’s see if I can beat it next year (or, heh, my overall PB if I can find a few more hours in my week!).
