Well, if it wasn’t real before, announcing it here will make it real! I’m all registered for the FULL Seattle Marathon on December 1!
I registered back in February when the price was nice and cheap–well, cheap for a 26.2 race anyway.
I really like the Seattle Marathon. It’s smaller than Rock ‘N’ Roll (or it feels smaller anyway), it’s a good time of year for me, and it’s a nice course. My first half marathon was the Seattle Half Marathon, and I ran the half last fall, too, with Zoe.
Registering for the full this time around was a little scarier since I have expectations that are a little more involved than just finishing, but I have a while to work on my base and my strength before I start training in the summer. Right now, I really need to think about the tri and the half that are on back-to-back weekends in June. Yikes!
Just for fun, here are a couple of pictures from my first marathon, Seattle Rock ‘N’ Roll Marathon, in 2011:

Congrats on registering for another full! I have heard that the Seattle Marathon is a great race, it is definitely on my bucket list of races!
YAY! Registration for mine opens April 1. It iwl be my first. Excited and freaking out all at the same time.
Congrats! So exciting!!! Running my first in 6 weeks!
Good for you! Dec 1 is my birthday, so I’m sure it will be a very lucky, awesome race for you!
But, it is a pretty big race, maybe not as big as RNR, but I thought it was big. I think you made a great choice to train for it in the fall.
Congrats – that’s so exciting! Love the pictures from your 1st – you look so happy 🙂
How exciting! I don’t know why I loved the half course so much, but I did. Looking forward to following your training. You will CRUSH it, by the way.
Yeah, that is soo exciting!!! I ran 3 marathons so far and marathon #2 was my favorite, by far! You know already what’s coming and you still have a lot of potential to improve. Good luck!
Right on Kerrie! I want to come and cheer you one!
Thank you all!
