What have I been up to? Well, I signed up for the Windermere 5K a while back and planned to run it with a friend. Unfortunately, after only a half-mile or so, volunteers directed us back to the starting line, and at 1.1 miles we crossed the finish line. The race was over, and we walked (half angry/half disappointed) back to a pub to have lunch with our friends.

On Memorial Day, I went on a run near Asotin, WA in some truly beautiful country. Unfortunately, the grey skies quickly produced rain, and then small hail, and then hail large enough to hurt me as I struggled to run/hike up the mountain. Eventually I had to take cover. Here are some pictures of my 2.75-mile run:

I am sure looking forward to sunny skies. Enough of this winter running already! :)

Whaaa? What a bizarre race. What happened? I know the Windermere Marathon and Half Marathon have been around for 3-4 years...was this their first 5k? Sorry that it wasn't a happier experience :(. I'm excited for your half marathon. I just signed up for the Seattle half (not Rock 'n' Roll, just the regular Seattle marathon in November) and am trying to up my training for the Bellingham Marathon with Megan Orr in September. Yay for better weather!
ReplyDeletejust stumbled on your blog while looking for images of the windermere half marathon shirts from last year's race. This year the shirts were very tiny. They were child like sizes. I recieved an email from the race director stating that they were ordering replacements... I emailed back to let them know I would be interested in one that actually fit and I haven't heard back. Sorry your race experience wasn't great with them either. Funky 5k shirts...
