We had a wonderful run this morning. Our route was along the Sammamish River, starting at Marymoor Park in Redmond. The weather cooperated nicely-- a partly cloudy, humid and breezy 50 degrees. Jeff cameled for us the whole way on his bike and his company also provided a welcome distraction from the tedium of distance. Several other folks on bikes or on foot commented on Justin's Portland marathon shirt saying they themselves were veterans. It was a funny feeling, being recognized as seasoned runners ourselves, because every time I go out on a long distance run, I still feel like it's the first and farthest. I had no complaints about today. Even after spending yesterday snowshoeing the Commonwealth Basin with coworkers (pic to follow), we ran well, ran rested, and ran fast for a total time of 2:10:31 over 13.1 miles. This is us just as we're coming in to the finish:

Looks like your run was significantly warmer then mine. I did 16 miles in -15 Celcius weather. I didn't wear shorts.

Wow. Well, you're brave. This was the first time we wore shorts on a long run-- it was 50 degrees yesterday. :)
