The Official Half Marathon

I had to pick up my packet on Friday after work. There was thousands of people at the run today. When we got back from the cruise ship wedding, I signed up for my Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Half Marathon. It really got my mileage up doing the Jeff Galloway Run/Walk/Run method. I completed my training with a few months still before today, so I restarted my training and was doing two half marathon distances a month… until this month. Having dental surgery has derailed me a little bit. Also, having painful shoes for New Years derailed me too! I wasn’t going to let that stop me. I wanted to at least run a half marathon, officially, in 2020, and I did.

Let’s get this run started!

Ran into Joe, he was a friend from work!

Woooooahh, I’m halfway there!

The blue mile had many photos of the fallen, it was heartbreaking. They are mostly children (young adults) who have served and gave the ultimate sacrifice. Then a line of supporters with flags.

I did it! Finish line!

Cool local band, the Gin Blossoms. They started here in Tempe
