What the What

Jul 27, 2015 | Road to Medoc, Seattle Marathon 10k, Thought | 3 comments

After the last WordPress update, I could no longer log in to my page…the admin and login page both returned the dreaded White Screen of Death! Alas, not a single one of the 226 articles with solutions worked. I had to reinstall wordpress on a different subdomain, export/import the sql database data, and then go through and fix all the broken stuff manually. It’s working.

So with just 46 days until Medoc and a whole bunch of days of stress until we leave, I owe you:

  • Gelinaz Shuffle recap. We had San Francisco Chef Daniel Patterson at Willow’s Inn on Lummi Island
  • Twilight 10k recap
  • See Jane Run recap
  • Vignalta Wine dinner at Artusi recap
  • Training Update
  • Seattle Marathon 10k Ambassador update (and some kids races stuff)!
  • other stuff….

I’ll get started on those right away!Ambassador_250x250_3

    Hi Kristie! Just read your review of the Seattle Marathon 10k and agree with you that looping the lake would be a much easier (mentally) route. The out and backs would probably be frustrating as you’re running it! I just signed up for the race (my first 10k!) I was wondering, how is the elevation? Is it a pretty flat course?

      It is mostly flat. There are a few tiny rolling hills between cross streets mostly, nothing too steep, and nothing long. Those kind of tiny hills you don’t even notice if you’re feeling good and only annoy you slightly on a super hot, woke up on wrong side of the bed, and didn’t eat breakfast kind of day. There is a 75 foot hill I usually avoid when training on this course where it hits 34th/Pacific Street around mile 3.5 to 4 (the Brooks sports corner)–and then there is a super tiny hill right at the turnaround that I remember saying: really now we have to go up a hill to turnaround *grumble*. It’s really not bad at all. My runkeeper elevation charts for you!

      Good luck on your first 10k! They are kind of the perfect distance…

        Awesome – thanks, I’ll check out your charts! LOL – I hate those “too hot, didn’t eat breakfast” kind of days! I know you’re supposed to say positive mantras to yourself during rough patches of races but I’m pretty sure only swear words came to mind at this year’s RnR race (I did the 8k) where there was that tiny uphill section at the very end! 🙂
