Bellingham Marathon

Race Day!!!!
It was a fun day for me as I got to get out and watch all my friends. It was also odd as this was the first year I was not taking part in the Bellingham races.
Simko, David and Nicole took part in the 5k run.
Way to go, you did awesome!
  1/2 mile in...
  End of the race and they have the finish line is sight...
  
So, another reason I was watching was that I had to see Oliver Bear Don't Walk finish the marathon.  He is an amazing runner and finished 26.2 miles in 2:37.32. WOW, that was so fast. Let me break that down for you.  That means he ran 6.01 minute miles. That is something we can all just dream about. 
  My Trailhead Athletic coaches were the men's Full Marathon escorts.
Great job!!!

 Zach ran the 1/2 Marathon today in 1:34:29. WOW, Speedy. Again, that breaks down to 7:13 per mile.
