IMPROVEMENTS - NSV!

So, the AZ Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon was on Sunday. My friends and I decided that since it was the last one we would be able to do for awhile that we would take it easy and really enjoy the run and the beautiful AZ course. We ran the first 7 miles and then we did intervals of walking for 2 or 3 minutes then running a mile, repeated for the rest of the race. We finished with a time of 2:23:35.

One year ago when we ran this same event, our very first half marathon ever, we ran the entire way without walking and felt like we were going to die afterwards. We finished with a time of 2:24:32.

Where is the progress? Well, this year, we WALKED part of it, had so much fun talking and goofing off and we felt great afterward… and we STILL beat last year’s time by a minute! Yay improvements!
