It was the final training week leading up to the Seattle Rock’n’Roll Half Marathon on Saturday. I continued with the Runner’s World Run Streak and it’s been 21 days now! Here’s what I did:
Monday – Had a nice early morning 3 miler for day 15 of the #RWRunStreak.
Tuesday – Ran 5 miles. 
Wednesday – 1 mile to continue the streak. 
Thursday – 3 miles on the treadmill. 
Friday – Ran 1 mile for the streak. 
Saturday – It was an awesome day to run the Seattle Rock’n’Roll Half marathon! Also, I got a chance to meet some awesome runners for the first time! Recap coming soon. 
Sunday – Recovery mile for day 21 of the #RWRunStreak. 
It was a good week since I got my training runs done. Now for the weekend update, I drove up to Seattle on Thursday evening so I could go to the Seattle Rock’n’Roll Expo on Friday to pick up my bib and timing chip. It was at the Century Link Field Event Center.
We got there around 10:30ish. It was a lot bigger than the Portland Expo. Below is a pic of where we went through to get our bibs.
Here’s a pic of the shirt and my bib.
The countdown sign:
The Brooks merchandise area had mirrors with sayings on them like in Portland. It’s such a cute idea.
I can feel your awesomeness! 🙂
Brooks also had a games area where you could do all the stations and they give you a prize. We did it last year and we didn’t have much time so we opted out this year. Here’s a pic by the Run part of the Run Happy sign.
Here’s a cool SpongeBob van. 
The kiddos and my Mom in front of the Seattle sign.
I was good and didn’t buy anything at the Expo. There were many vendors but I wasn’t planning on staying long.
Later in the evening, we went to my nephew’s school carnival. It’s been a while since I’ve been to a carnival. I didn’t get many pictures but the kiddos played a bunch of carnival games. There was clowns making balloon animals/swords, and there was even a cake walk. My niece won a cake! The kiddos had a blast!
Those were the highlights of the weekend besides the Seattle Rock’n’Roll Half Marathon on Saturday. Saturday was a busy and tiring day since I had to drive back to Portland to work on Sunday. It was a fun weekend regardless.
How’d your weekend go? Did you race?
I’m linking up with Tara from Running ‘n’ Reading for the Weekend Update.
Happy Running Mom 
Great job keeping up with the RW run streak! And that expo looks like fun! I raced a local 5k this weekend. It was super hot out there!

I didn’t race, but my DH did. (he did fine, especially considering it was hot, humid and they delayed the start by 40 minutes!)
School carnivals. I went to mine as a kid, then when I was in a different school, got to go to the one at the school where my mom taught. I won goldfish once! (do they still give goldfish? used to be a big thing where I grew up) They can live a long time if you take care of them…I had one live so long he lost his color and you could barely see him in the bowl. I was quite upset when he finally passed. I think he lived 2 years with us. Wow, hadn’t thought of that in ages.

Wow! Nice that you won goldfish at a carnival! There wasn’t any goldfish at this carnival. That would be a cool prize though! 🙂

I tried to convince my husband to do a half in OR this spring. I’m trying to do one on every state, my MIL & SIL live outside Seattle – kill 2 birds with 1 stone. But no, he didn’t want to go west so we ended up at Annapolis in May.
I like to shop. I like good race expos. 🙂
Sounds like a busy & fulfilling weekend!
