2007 Scandinavian Adventure

A trip from June 06, 2007 to June 17, 2007, travelling to Stockholm, Drottningholm, arlanda, Jurmala …
One marathon, three countries, three languages, three currencies … More  
One marathon, three countries, three languages, three currencies, and no guides!!!

Derek and I decided one cold, dark day in December 2006 that we would take our first extended trip together to a location neither of us had been to but one that we had always wanted to explore. We also figured that the timing was too perfect not to register for and complete our first marathon together in Stockholm. One of the highest rated marathons in the world. So off we go!

Anyone know of some cool things to visit in Riga? I have already heard about the cat house and that is on the list...

Jenn and Derek --

You will do great -- and your plan is just as I would have advised!! Slow and steady... AND LOTS of fluids (not just water) EARLY in the race!!! It will pay off later on through the day. Just enjoy it and listen to your bodies. Take it easy and just think about the finish line and the massages that await you when you are done!!!

So Proud!!! Coach T

You are both rock stars and you make a coach proud!! You took on a marathon adventure that was well beyond the training elements I cold have ever prepared you for and you came through with style (aka cool shades) and grace! Kudos... Coach T!
