Running the Seattle Rock'n'Roll Marathon, June 27, 2009
TJ and I ran the Seattle Marathon and Paul ran the Half Marathon. It was very painful event for me for a number of reasons!
1) I lost to TJ -
2) My knee killed - had to run the last 15 miles in horrible pain.

Running the Rocky Mountain Half Marathon, June 14th 2009

I ran the Rocky Mountain Half Marathon as my last half marathon before the Seattle full. This course was relatively hilly, a bit tougher than the Platte and Colfax, but not quite as bad as the Horsetooth.

I ran it in 1:44:22 and finished 151st out of 1499. Race results can be viewed here: http://results.active.com/pages/oneResult.jsp?pID=61362657&rsID=78945

Running the Colfax Half Marathon, May 17th, 2009
TJ and I ran the Colfax Half Marathon on May 17th.
It was the easiest half marathon that I had ever run because of the lack of hills.

I had my personal best time in this event by running it in 1:40:27, I finished 173rd out of 2352 runners. TJ ran it in a 1:33:25 and finished 78th overall.
