Coming back from vacation wasn't fun at all... work was pretty busy in Oct-Nov and as a result a lot of personal things suffered. Point in case: my blog.

 

One thing I tried very hard to mantain was my training plan for the Seattle Half Marathon. Luckly I was able to finish strong and ran the race two weeks ago.

 

The Seattle Half is very hilly (you know what I mean if you have ever been to Seattle downtown) but the weather was good that day. My result was a little better than I expected (1:58). I thought I'd be around 2:10 but the intense training sessions around my neighborhood, Education Hill (yes, a lot of hills), paid off nicely. You can check the official results here.

 

Some good friends were there with me: Gustavo Nascimento, Alex Pombo and Diego Dagum. The good news is that they all finished... The bad? Well, Diego, the Argentine, came first among us (just kidding, my friend).

 

Here are some pictures taken after the race:

Happy with the medal!

 

That's it! I promise to share more details about this race including my playlist soon.
