Summer finally arrived in Seattle and it packed a punch with temperatures pushing 90 degrees in many parts of the county. What a better time than to host a Marathon. The Seafair Marathon was held on Sunday, 6/29 and the Fitness Together Running Group put together a relay team for the event.
Four people and 6.55 miles for each runner. Dawn started things out on the Seattle side and was the chosen one to cross the 520 bridge (lucky to have the early morning lake breezes). After making her way through Medina, Dawn handed the timing bracelet off to Shelly who wound her way through the Bellevue streets before handing off to Brian attack the hills of Kirkland. With neighbors spraying water on the runners to keep cool, Geoff received the baton for the final leg from Kirkland back up the hill to finish off at Bellevue Square.
It was a great day for the team despite the heat. We look forward to future running events in cooler conditions. (Photo: Left to Right - Geoff, Shelly, and Brian. Dawn is not pictured.)
