Running in Seattle


I went down to Seattle this past weekend, both to see Emily and to run the half marathon. It was my first major race and it felt rather daunting but I really enjoyed it in the end. Apart from the tunnel of the I-90, the course featured some beautiful scenery including Lake Washington and the downtown skyline.

I finished the race in a personal best of 1:36:00, which put me 10th / 839 in my age category, 34th / 4025 women and 276th / 7067 overall. I'm definitely pleased with the result and look forward to beating my time next year!
