Adventures of Rachele

Last weekend (July 14-15) was the 200+ mile Seattle to Portland (STP) bike ride.  Wilson completed the ride in one day and the rest of the gang did the ride over two days.  Bill & I (the injured ones) did SAG and met the group at various stops with cold water, diet coke (Lynn's fix), food, pom poms and moral support.  Here are the photos from the weekend...

Yesterday was the Seafair Marathon in Bellevue.  Many of us ran the 1/2 course or paced part of the full course.  A couple crazy souls (Erin & Ian) braved the weather and ran the full.  Of course, this was a great excuse to hang out at my place for a post-race brunch.

Aaron, Erin, and Dan.

Dan and Bethany have a new addition to their family...a black lab retriever puppy named Neah.  Here a re the photos of her a couple days before they took her home.  She's only been home for two weeks, but I think she's already doubled in size.
