With only a little more than two months left before the "Big Day", Melissa and I took a break over the weekend to run the Inaugural Rock 'n' Roll Seattle Marathon.  Melissa ran the full (26.2 miles) and I ran the half (13.1 miles).  The number of runners was just insane.  Who would have guessed that you could convince 20,000 people to run a race like this in Seattle.  I'm so happy I did, though. The weather was excellent.  The race was well managed.  The course was fun (at least the half-marathon course). And, I now have another nice metal to add to my collection.

Since Melissa ran the full-marathon, I teamed up with our friend Heidi to run the half.  (We both agreed during the race that it would be wise to get some training in for the Royal Victoria Marathon that our group of friends runs each October.)  The finish line at Qwest Field was crossed a couple hours after our start in Tukwila, and was followed by a bus ride home, a shower, and brunch at the 5 Spot.
