On Sunday, Roos, Andy, Anita and I drove over to San Jose to run the Rock n Roll half marathon. This year the four of us decided to do ALL the Rock n Roll runs. They were: Arizona Rock n Roll, Nashville Rock n Roll, San Diego Rock n Roll, Virginia Beach half marathon, San Jose half marathon, and lastly, in November, is San Antonio Rock n Roll. They have been fun and we got to travel alot!
As you can see from the photo above, lots of other ShadowChasers were also running. It was cool because it was Danielle (far left) and Linda's (between Anita and I) very first half marathon. The weather couldn't have been better.
I started out to fast (as usual) and at the 5K mark was: 23:03. At mile 10, I was at 1:19:08. I took a walk break and then the 1:45 pace group came up from behind. Crap! I wanted to do better than last year (1:44) so I tried to stay ahead of that pace group. I hung in there, pushing it to the end and came across the finish line at 1:43:19. My new half marathon PR. My achilles felt pretty good. It was a little stiff on Tuesday morning but is now feeling good. I am so relieved to be healthy. I only hope it stays that way.
Andy finished in 1:58, Anita finished 2:17, and Roos finished at 3:16 (his new PR). Overall it was a great day. What could be better than running and wolfing down In-n-Out on the way home!!
Run Fun....
