Seattle Rock 'N' Roll Half Marathon

  June 22 was our 7th Rock 'N' Roll half marathon for 2013.  My cousin and her husband, who live in the Seattle area, did this run with us.  Well, they ran the same half marathon, but were much faster than we were (by a lot!); so we didn't actually run the half marathon together, but we got to hang out with them before the race.  Also, training together (and tracking each other's work outs) through our Runkeeper app was fun too!

 



 At this race, we got 3 medals.  That's right...3!!!  We got the Seattle Half Marathon medal for finishing, the Pacific Peaks medal for doing the Portland and Seattle Half Marathons, and the Rock Legend medal for doing 7 in one year!  We truly felt like rock stars, clanging around our bling all afternoon.  Hey, all those medals were actually really heavy and my neck started to get stiff!

 We also got to hang out with our friends that do all the runs as well (remember we ran into them in Portland?).  Our friend on the far right, ran the FULL marathon (notice his medal ribbon is red).

  As usual, we had our Geico sponsored massages after the race.  Here I am with my friend, the Geico Gekko.

  Our next scheduled race was for July in Chicago but we decided to skip it to let my knee heal.  Yes, I was still having problems with my knee during this race.  It is much better now and I have started training again for our next race.  3 more to go to become Rock Idols (total of 10 in one year)!!!
