Trip Report

Super Jock n Jill was only the second half marathon that I ran that wasn't on a Saturday or Sunday.  The only other half being the half I ran in Juneau on the Alaskan marathon cruise week. SJnJ was run on Labor Day just north of Seattle.  it was a small well organized race.  I ran this race for Washington as it fell the same weekend as LSU football's away game against the University of Washington.  So I saw some Saturday football, played tourist Sunday and then ran Monday.
