Running In Seattle Update 20151010

I haven’t provided an update in awhile on my rehabilitation from hip replacement surgery.  I was coming along really well and last wrote on September 23, indicating that my progress was going smoothly.  Then I had a sudden relapse and my condition returned to where it had been about three weeks earlier.

At the same time, I’ve been gaining strength and this morning I participated in the Monster Mash Dash.  I did not do the entire 5K distance, but I walked two miles without trouble.  I’ve got to get in a 2.5 miler within the next few days, as that Husky Dawg Dash I signed up for is just a week away.  If you have not yet registered for that event, you still have an opportunity.  After the big Huskies football win on Thursday, you certainly want to be at Red Square next Sunday to show your support.

Run Results:
MicroSoft 5K (MicroSoft Campus in Redmond, Friday October 2).

Calendar Additions:
Jingle Bell Run (5K, Westlake Center in downtown Seattle, Sunday December 13).
Holiday Fun Run (Magnuson Series 5K, 10K & 15K, Magnuson Park, Saturday December 19).

Running In Seattle Update 20150918

There are two upcoming neighboorhood 5K runs in the north Seattle area.  These are small community events that do not draw much attention.  Neither run is timed.

The Bite of Broadview is a 3-day Neighborhood Festival featuring a carnival, a car show and a rummage sale (September 25-26-27).  The annual 5K Fun Run takes place Saturday morning September 26.

As a pre-Halloween community event, the City of Shoreline puts on an annual fun run and call it the Monster Mash Dash.  Dressing up for Halloween is encouraged, and prizes are awarded for best costumes.

Calendar Additions:
Bite of Broadview (5K, Christ the King in north Seattle, Saturday September 26).
Monster Mash Dash (5K, Shoreline City Hall in north Seattle, Saturday October 10).
