No rain...well, almost no rain

Is it crazy to run a half marathon at the end of November in Seattle? I guess not, because I was out there running with about fourteen thousand other crazy people.

I have to confess, I was completely stressed out all last week, due to the weather forecast. We had torrential rain on Friday and the forecast was calling for rain Sunday. It rained all night Saturday and early Sunday, but thankfully, the weather cleared out for the marathon...well almost. I thought I was going to make it through the 13.1 miles dry, but at mile 11 it started to rain, only lightly though, so it wasn't too bad. However, I was frozen by the time I crossed the finish line.

Best race moment: Crossing the finish line knowing that I beat my San Fran race time!

Best sign on the race course:
"My Mommy runs for beer" -- Note: this was being held by a child who looked about 4-5 years old!

Favorite race tunes on mini:
"Right Now" -- Van Halen -- this tune came on at mile 12, perfect timing
"P.Y.T" -- Michael Jackson
"Have a nice day" -- Bon Jovi
