Running In Seattle Update 20151111

Only 20 days to the Seattle Marathon.  I took a stroll today, covering 10.65 miles, so I’m well on my way to experiencing sufficient training before the big event on November 29.  And I submitted my registration today, so I can’t back out now!  I had intended to walk only 9 miles for my practice run, but I’m really glad to have gotten in a longer distance — makes me that much closer to my training goal.

We have a brand new 5K run – the first annual Run Run Rudolph taking place on the University of Washington campus.  Donations benefit The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

The 7th annual K9 Candy Cane 5K benefits the City of Renton Community Services, with donated canned dog food going to the Seattle/King County Humane Society.

Run Results:
Run Scared (5K & 4K-Walk, Seward Park in Seattle, Saturday October 31).
Calendar Additions:
K9 Candy Cane (5K, Community Center in Renton, Sunday December 6).
Run Run Rudolph (5K, University of Washington Campus, Sunday December 6).
