Did my 4-miler with Magic Mile this morning! It was 64 degrees out and overcast, which would have been perfect - but with 94% humidity! Not bad at all for mid-June though.

Happy running, all!

SUPER! I did mine Thursday morning I was sweating a river! Going to the track to get a more accurate pace for myself. The Starbucks after that MM er tasted might fine! I run along a dyke just off the water but there was no breeze. Had a great run but glad it was over!

Thanks for the encouraging words, everyone! I had a fantastic race yesterday! This was my second time running RnR Seattle, and again it didn't disappoint. The weather was gorgeous, excellent scenic course, lots of energy, great bands and spectators, and a sweet medal! Aaaaand, I PR'd! I wasn't even planning/expecting to, since the course is a bit hilly, but about halfway through the race I realized that it was a possibility, so I really pushed it the second half. Ended up with an official time of 2:11:00 - 22 seconds faster than my previous PR.


Aaaaaaand the awesome finisher medal!!!


Overall, I think this is a really top-notch race, and I'd definitely recommend it!

Thanks so much, guys! It was really a fantastic day! I definitely want to do it again next year! This week, it's $50 to sign up for the Half and only $55 for the Full. I'm seriously considering registering for the Full. What is wrong with me!

Did anyone get the new email from runDisney? It contains a link to new, more serious training plans from Runner's World (including 4-5 days of running and speedwork/tempo runs).

I wonder why they are offering these? Was there more of a demand for more "intense" training plans? Oftentimes runDisney seems to go out of their way to appeal to beginner/newer runners...these plans are NOT for beginners!

Yes! I was actually just checking it out. It does seem very intense, but like that it adds track workouts.

Definitely nice that they have a variety of options for people to try out. With my newfound casual approach to running, I won't be using one of these plans...but I can definitely see the appeal for others.
