This is it! The Second Annual Seattle Rock’n Roll Half Marathon…a wonderful celebration of everything you’ve accomplished over the past 16 weeks! The whole process of getting to this point can seem so mundane…going out for your daily walk or run…eating right…stretching…hydrating…pacing.

Superstars of the Week (s)… Thanks so much to Cindy Weber, our water station helper out at Juanita Beach.

Wow! Can you believe it? Have you taken a look at the training schedule?…You only have to go 6 miles on Saturday! Six miles…Think about the last time you saw a 6-mile workout on your schedule.

Wow…that was blustery day out at Kirkland on Saturday! I’m sure many of you heard the wind and rain and opted to stay at home under the covers….an understandable decision. Yet we had a crew of about 20 who chose to show up. Unbelievably, one of them was Mark Scott, who drove alll the way [...]
