Windermere Marathon
Lauren and I ran the Windermere Marathon in Spokane yesterday. Andrew rode his bike along the course, which is the Centennial Trail , so we got to see him a few times. We kept an eye out for MaryKay, who was running the half, but didn't see her. It was a beautiful, and mostly flat course, along the Spokane River. There were about 1000 people total, 617 people ran the half and 287 ran the full. The inaugural running of this marathon had super friendly volunteers and a lot of port-o-potties. There were a few glitches; the most glaring error was mis-numbered mile markers. Mile 17 happened twice and after that the numbers were only sometimes right. Having mile markers repeat mislabelled is a VERY confusing thing when you have been running for over three hours and can't think right. I am sure that will get worked out next year. I would highly recommend it! www.windermeremarathon.com

Congrats ladies! I opted out of the half...a busy weekend planned with friends and I didn't want to give up any time with my friend's new baby. I'm so glad that it went well for you - Saturday was a gorgeous day!
p.s. i hope you didn't waste too much energy looking for me! I forgot Andrew's number at home so I couldn't call.
Congratulation on another successful marathon - you are amazing!
oh my - if I saw mile 17 twice I wouldn't have been very happy (or at least not until I saw mile 19)
looking forward to see you in Walla Walla!
