The Inaugural Seattle Rock n Roll Marathon:
Saturday, July 27th, 2009...FINISHED!
There are 3 things Nikki has never had the desire to do: Skydiving, Bungee Jumping, and Running a Marathon (or anything longer.) Peer pressure on a college trip to Las Vegas took care of skydiving. Then, when faced with 5 months of no husband and not much else to do where we live...marathon time! Renee bravely decided to tackle the half marathon...for most of which she danced instead of walked!
Above: Running in downtown Seattle around mile 16-18 (That's avery blurry space needle in the background.)
Above: Crossing the finish line with Janine, the best running buddy ever! 5 hours, 52 minutes.
