Back From Seattle!!

Well, as some of you might of known, I had to travel to Seattle this past Monday-Wednesday. What an amazing city, and to top it off we had beautiful weather for the three days I was there. About a high of 70 degrees and a low in the 50's, it was amazing. While I was there, I had to take advantage of the weather, so two co-workers/friends, Bill and Barry, went running with me in Seattle. We walked down Pike street to the water which was about a quarter of a mile from the hotel (We stayed at the Sheraton). Well we started to run along this wood planked boardwalk that turned into a paved running area that went for miles along the bay, it was just an incredible view. I will try to get pictures posted very soon on picasa so check back soon for that.

In regards to running, we did run twice, once 4 miles, and the other 4.5 miles. Now, up until this time, the most I have run was 3 miles at home so this was a great milestone, especially two days in a row. I can thank Bill and Barry for that because they kept me going and kept the pace up, thanks Bill!!!

I am also training for the half-marathon this up coming January. If you don't know, that is 13.1 miles. It is difficult thus far but with a lot of training and support, I know that I will be able to do it.

Well, this is it for now, I will write again soon!
