Here are some pictures of the course. . . they put up
"inspiring" signs like this all over!
After 8 weeks of training, I did my first 1/2 marathon. It is called Robie Creek, and is the hardest 1/2 in the Northwest. You have to run the first 8 miles up a mountain and then go down the back side the last 5. It was tough, but I got it done in 2 hours and 48 minutes. I was a good experience, except it does mess with your self-esteem a little when 60-70 year old guys can beat your time, but hey, there is always next year!
