#210: Sleepless in Seattle Before Running Marathon (Downhill) in the Pacific Northwest

Run The Race

A few days ago, I ran a marathon in state #29. Check out "Run the Race" to hear how it went before, during, and after the Pacific Northwest race near Seattle. Best part was sharing the experience with our son, who cheered me on at the finish line. The title of this episode references one of my favorite movies, from decades ago, because I got less than 3 hours of sleep before trying to run the 26.2 miles fast. I talk about the epic concert - with 3 superstars - that led to that lack of sleep...traveling from Georgia to Washington state, then a cool uber to the race start...what it was like running the all downhill race on a sandy trail with gravel, the pros and cons...solid pacers and scenery...what changed at mile 22...bling, scars and a big burger after. There are also stories about our adventures in Seattle and just East of there: what it was like going through the mazes of the very hip Pike Place Market...hiking to different waterfalls...going to the top of the famous Space Needle...pizza at a unique place next to the "gum wall"...and a Christian ministry taking over part of the big city. And I close the episode out in prayer. Thanks for listening to the #RunTheRace podcast, which I hope you'll subscribe to! Share it with your friends.
