This weekend was the Royal Victoria Half-Marathon and I have the aches and pains to prove it. It was a fantastic weekend with good friends, good food, and a lot of relaxation. So, I'll start from the beginning...well, enough of the beginning for you to get the picture.
After doing the Whidbey Island (Half) Marathon, four of us decided to do the Royal Victoria Marathon. Susan was so excited she signed up for the half marathon in April, just weeks after complete Whidbey. I reserved a hotel suite (for a really cheap price) and we got some other people to go along. The returnees from Whidbey were Kim, her sister Debbie, Susan, and I. Bev was supposed to do Victoria but at the last minute had to stay home. In addition, Kim's husband, Eddie, decided to join us, as well as Kim (Bunny).
So Susan and I left Seattle at 5am on Friday (10/10) and drove to Anacortes. We got on the ferry and headed to Victoria. Friday was spent lounging around and enjoying Victoria. On Saturday we met up with Kim and Eddie for breakfast and then picked up our race packets. Bunny joined up with us later in the afternoon. It was a great time, especially when you understand that our friendship (except for mine and Susan's) was forged on line. It was like sisters getting together (well, except for Eddie who had to put up with us). Sunday was the half-marathon and we all finished!!! The experiece was so great that we're going to do it again next year. See below for pics.
