After our half marathon debut in September (which Betsy and Charlotte had to miss for varying reasons), we all decided needed another shot at it, together this time. And so we signed up for the Rock 'n Roll half marathon in AZ.
Training quickly devolved into a shit show. By December, we were all either thwarted by injuries, holiday parties, ice on the sidewalks, sub-zero temperatures, or all of the above. And so I made these fake "red" shirts for everyone to wear on race day. I figured after the run, we'd all be pretty ti-red.
But by some miracle, instead of totally bonking, we all PR'ed, and had an amazing weekend in the process. I finished smack in the middle of my buddies at 2:05:15, and am chasing a sub-two hour finish my next half marathon.
Hey--did I sign a photo release? Seriously though, I'm right there with you on the sub-two hour chase! Does this mean we should start training?!
