#5 - Seattle Marathon 2005

DATE: Sunday, November 27, 2005
LOCATION: Seattle, Washington

Even prior to my first marathon I decided to run the Seattle Marathon in November of that year. I’m not quite sure what my rational was bit I guess I figured it would be fun. I do know I didn’t know what to expect about the weather (being late November). My mom and sister joined in on the drive up. We stayed at a Best Western Hotel about ¼ mile from the start. They did the half marathon, while I ran the full marathon. The weather ended up being very good it was in the 50’s and partly to mostly cloudy. I loved the atmosphere of the race to this day it remains one of my favorite marathons. What surprised me more than anything else is the fact that I ran a 25 minute PR. I ended up running a 3:26, and remember being thrilled the whole way home.
