This year they had a dragon run! The dragon was made of 2 or 3 people!
PF Chang's Rock n Roll Half Marathon
Ran the Half Marathon Distance this year. It was my 5th consecutive Phoenix Rock n Roll. Sometimes the half, sometimes the whole. I really like this race and look forward to it. Cynthia and Karen ran too. We drove and hung out together. I don't know that I would've had much fun this year if they hadn't done it. It was fun to have an activity with girlfriends though.
At the end of the day I was questioning myself why I didn't have the same satisfaction this year as usual...am I tired of this race? What I decided though was that it was lack of a worthy goal.
I was not disappointed with my time this year. I felt proud of the 1:44 time I got. Not as fast as my last couple of half marathons, but not much slower considering the lack of speed training I've had for awhile now.
Past worthy goals I have accomplished at Chang's were: Qualifying for Boston, Breaking 1:40 in the Half, Supporting Karen as she qualified for Boston, Running a controlled training run to prepare me for my first 50K.
All of these accomplishments left me feeling really good. This year...it wasn't the same.
Still glad I did it with my friends. The expo and race morning are always fun. But next year I will go back with a noble goal. I don't know yet what that will be, but it will be good.
