I decided to run the Denver Rock n' Roll Half Marathon because it's local and I've heard that it's "fun". Well, "fun" is definitely a relative word, however it was as enjoyable as running 13.1 miles can be. I was fortunate enough to talk a few friends into running it with me as well as two more reluctant walkers. With a band at about every mile helping us along the way, and a random stranger or two cheering you on just when you need it...I am proud to say that we all 5 finished and we all had "fun"! I made it in 2 hours and 28 minutes, which I'm happy with since my estimated time was 2 hours and 45 minutes. As for running half marathons, I'm 50/50 on if I'll do another one. I'm thinking I'll try a 10k....then maybe a 7k...then maybe a 5k...and then decide which race is for me.
Race numbers, gear, ready to run!
Half of the finishers....will post the pic of all of us as soon as I get a copy :)

I wish I had the gumption to write/journal/blog like you do Shea. This is interesting personal insight.
Why thank you sir! I figure there's not too many people that actually read it, so I'm probably alright being honest on here.
