Rock N Roll SD Finisher Medal
Well, I made it back home to Tucson yesterday from a much cooler SanDiego. Had a great race on Sunday, running in the Rock N Roll Series San Diego 1/2 Marathon. This was my third race in the Rock N Roll series. As usual it was extremely well organized and just a fantastic event. Weather was perfect for running. It was in the 60′s for most of the run. My goal was to run it in under 2:15 and I finished in a surprising 2:06:58. Next stop: under 2 hours. Next race: Rock N Roll Vegas 1/2 Marathon December 4th. Already registered. Come out and join us for the race!! We are starting to amass quite the little group for that race! One more day of recovery and then back to training. I will be starting a training program from SmartCoach (see link on blog) for a full marathon in under 4 hours. Why train for a full marathon when I just said the next race was a half, you ask. Well, call me crazy but I am running in the Tucson Marathon (my first) on December 11th; one week after the Vegas Half. So that half will be my final training run before the Tucson Marathon. Happy running!
