My Rock ‘n’ Roll 1/2 Marathon Medal. Thanks to Wonder Woman for running with me and on her personal 1/2 marathon record yesterday. You are my hero.

Yesterday, I ran my first 1/2 marathon in the inaugural Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon in Seattle. I finished in just over three hours. Though many predicted otherwise (including myself at times), I didn’t die. My apologies to those of you that will have to wait a little longer to divvy up my record collection. Anyway, here are some of the highlights from my early morning jaunt from Tukwila to Seattle yesterday.

The Michael Jackson Shrine between miles 4 and 5. Complete with a boom box blaring MJ and the chick with the sweet Afro busting a move with MJ’s photo in her hands.

The field was comprised primarily of chicks. 70% to be precise. Proving once again that girls rule!

Stopping briefly to check out the Grynch around mile 10.

I got a medal (see above. Seriously, it’s really mine)! And it wasn’t for drinking someone under the table. That’s next weekend.

The KISS cheerleaders bringing me home at mile 13.

Sprinting to the finish line!

The Cheetos I got to eat after passing on the “thanks but no thanks” complimentary MGD in the recovery area. Mmmmm, forbidden Cheetos…

Thanks to everyone that called and wrote to wish me well on Saturday. I’ll be back to regular posts tomorrow. Stay tuned…
