A few days ago, I did something that I NEVER thought possible... I finished the PF Chang's Rock & Roll 1/2 Marathon! That's right, 13.1 miles, and I ran it! My official time was 2:35:50, which is well under my goal of 2:45. My roommate ran as well, and we both had so much fun! Of course, it was tough, painful, and there's nothing quite like the post-marathon walk for the next couple days (picture an 80 year old man with two fake hips)...but, it is completely worth it.
My mom and Coleen came to cheer us on at mile 10 and then met us after to celebrate. Thirty-six thousand people total ran the half and full marathons on Sunday, starting in Phoenix and ending in Tempe. To be involved in something this large, with so many people who believe in themselves (and in each other), was truly incredible. This is something I definitely would love to do again next year. If you're up for it, why not join me?! Come on, surprise yourself...I dare you.
