Every April I run a race. Rock the Parkway to be exact. Two years in a row I ran the 10k version. And loved every minute of it. And every year I'd say "next year I should do the half because it's such a great course". This year I had no choice. They eliminated the 10k option. I ran the half. One thing I never took into account for an April half is training through the winter. Yuck. I'm a fan of taking an outdoor running hiatus in the cold winter months, then making my debut during a 10k. I discovered around mile 9 how much I dislike spring half marathons. Unfortunately for me, it was only mile 9. I still had 4 more to go. I finished with my slowest time ever. And sadly, I'm breaking up with Rock the Parkway. It was a great relationship. But we're now parting ways. I did collect the medal. And wore it with pride. And then of course ate a great lunch with some good running buddies. All in a days work.
Jenn, Sherri, Me, and Christine post race sporting our bling.
Of course I need to include the post race, post shower shot.
Good bye Rock the Parkway. It was fun while it lasted.
