Mercer Island Run

Unfortunately, Oli woke up with a terrible cough and was not fit to run his race. So Brett and Oli stayed home to rest and I ventured off to run the Half Marathon.

Great race! I felt really strong throughout the 13.1 miles and I think had a pretty good pace (won't know for sure until the results come out later tonight). I enjoyed the route which was the perimeter of Mercer Island...would have been stunning on a sunny day. I was chasing and being chased by a couple of other women which made the time fly by and we laughed about it at the finish line - I love the camaraderie of weekend races! I am already looking forward to the next half marathon...Vancouver Half, here I come!

Without the blogging camera crew there, I am just including a picture of my beloved running shoes.
