This is a fun run through our community...at noon....in the heat....what am I thinking!  But I ran from my house to the start (warm up of 3.5 miles!) and then ran the race.  After that I cooled down and watched the parade!

 My cheering squad...who else gets 1,000 follwed by a 9 and $$$?

 The parade is an old-fashioned one with no bands, lots of firetrucks, dalmations, and old trucks.

 

This is a great parade and a race I might...just might...do again.

This was a great 1/2 marathon for me. I felt so good after I finished! The race was extremely well run and scenery was grand. Definitely one for a do-over!!!

Yep, we got up at 3:32am to drive up to Safeco field so I could catch the shuttle to the start! Mom and Dad joined us....not sure they liked the "start" time, though!

There were 32 corrals and the first two numbers of the bib numbers was your corral.  Yep, I was in corral 27 based on my estimated finish time!

The sea of people!

Getting ready to start....

Took over 45 minutes for me to reach the start line....

And I'm off!

Seriously.....10 more miles?????!!!!

Lovely Lake Washington

This was quite the view...soldiers and their families lined the street with flags and pictures of fallen soldiers from the area.  Hard to focus on running at this point.  Said a prayer for all of them. 

The finish line...only 3 more miles!

On the home stretch..I feel good!

THE FINISH LINE!

Medal in hand.

The end(s)!!
