Before we left for Montana last week, I did manage to finish the Seafair Torchlight Run 8K.
The course takes runners along the Alaskan Way Viaduct, through the Battery Street Tunnel, and down Fourth Avenue along the Torchlight Parade route before finishing at Qwest Field. I high-fived about 100 cute kids lined up along Fourth Ave during the stretch run.
Running along those streets was a lot of fun... I love downtown Seattle, and this was a unique opportunity to experience it in a different way. I finished the race in 0:49:45.9, only 99th out of 109th in my age group, because I'm tremendously slow. But hey, not bad for a first try!
