With some great weather and another well organized race, I had an amazing time yesterday out on the Seattle Marathon course.   Ran with a buddy in the half and saw lot’s of other friends along the way.  After finishing the half I met my wife Melody and we drove out to Leschi where we hooked up with a group of people from Team in Training walking the full marathon in memory of our TNT  friend Skip Sand who passed away last month.  Joined them for the last nine miles in what was a fun but emotional time.  Congratulations to all Half and Full Marathon finishers, you are incredible!!

Congratulations to the Everett CC cross country team for winning the Northwest Community College women’s and combined titles on Saturday!  It’s the first championship in any sport for Everett CC and Shawna Schooley (Davis HS ‘09) won the first individual title for the school in 30yrs.  Great job to both teams!
