After much delay - here are my pics from our marathon training
(Port Ludlow pics will be next post)
Jan 17 run - starting at Leshi, ending at Blu Water Cafe for breakfast.
Freezing fog wasn't too bad, the hills were fine (even the extra hills I did when I got lost) and the breakfast was yummy!
Debi and Sarah - meet us pre run \/
Thur night run on Mercer island
My new shoes and toe socks
love the headlamps!
Melinda's cute new haircut - before the next cute new haircut
hanging out in the parking lot as we get ready - I love how the reflective stuff shows up in photos
TWO loops of Lake Young 1/10/09!
fueling up for the second loop
Jen runs up the last set of hills to finish the first loop
Who ever suggest the reverse direction for the second loop was a genius - it was so much fun to see everyone as they started their second loop!
Emily and Melinda take the road to avoid all the mud/puddles
Andrew!
Barb (has amazing focus while running- or was listening to a great song)
Lauren
Mary Kay & Jen
Thursday night at Sturgis park
w/ Sarah H and no rain!
Ok maybe it rained a little - but it didn't pour and we weren't dripping wet, which was an improvement over some other Thursday night runs.
West Lake Sammamish trail - all smiles after the run and a hot drink
Doesn't Emily look colorful?
Amazing what she will wear when freezing cold
Melinda, Emily, Emma (joined us for her first ever 13 mile run) and Jen.
The tailgate makes a good hot drink bar w/ my new thermos!
Happy!
Freezing but happy
Luna Park - New Year's day
Yes - I tried to get out of the New Year's day run - but my wonderful friends kept me on track (peer pressure saves my training plan, again) !
Nov 15 - group run starting in Leshi w/ Sunshine!
Kneeling - Lauren and Sarah H
L to R - Lee, Barb, Steve, Jen, MaryKay and Andrew.
I remember thinking as I struggled on this run to complete 14 miles (my first run longer than 13.1) that I couldn't see how it was possible for me to run 26.2.
I'm glad I had your encouragement and support to get through the training - thanks

I need to figure out how to get the captions to line up with the photos - sorry if it doesn't make sense.
Great photos, Lee! Add them to Facebook too if you can. :)
Thanks for posting these, Lee. I am smiling right now. Love the captions too.
Awesome photos Lee, thanks for taking them along the way and posting them. What great memories. I am definitely interested in training for another marathon over next winter. It was a great way to stay in shape and see everyone over the winter. I'll look for some possible marathons for 2010.
It was fun training with you all - here's to the next one!
