Bloomsday, Spokane WA

Hi everyone!!!! I'm back after a long break from racing! (I had Salmonella and complications from Salmonella... I don't wish that on anyone!) Anyways.... I'm running Bloomsday next week, was wondering if any WISH members are going to be there!

That new Tinkerbell half Marathon at DL has got me itching for a Disney race!!!

I guess I need to change my signature, huh?

I was going to run the Bloomsday race with my neighbor. But she backed out. So now I'm staying closer to home and running the Top Pot Donut Dash at Greenlake. I know, a much smaller, easier race. But I get a donut at the end!
I'm training for the San Diego and Seattle Rock & Roll's - both in June.
So I may run around Greenlake 2 times just to get more milage in.

Hopefully I can do Bloomsday next year.
It sounds fun but challenging.
Have you done it before?

Welcome back and glad you are ok after all you went through.

Not participating, but sounds interesting. So does the Top Pot event. Hope to hear good news about the event.

Disfan11~ Too bad you didn't do Bloomsday! It was a ton of fun! How was the Top Pot Donut Dash???

I have done Bloomsday in 2008 and finished with a time of 1 hour 21 minutes and that was when I was pretty much training. This year I did it in 1 hour 26 minutes with only running again for just over a month after having knee surgery last fall. I'm definitely happy with my time! Beautiful day out there as well, got a tan going now!

I am jealous of your donut at the end of Top Pot though!

The Top Pot Donut Dash was a lot of fun.
I ran it in 24:52 (249th out of 1873 total runners - 2/3 of which were women!).
I got my donut at the end.
My group (2 adults and 3 kids) then went to REI and climbed the rock wall.
That was a blast!
Then it was off to Dicks for greasy burgers and fries! Yummy.
I'd post a picture if I knew how to do it!

Maybe Bloomsday will be on for me for next year!
