I am such a ROOKIE at this whole race thing. The race series I had wanted to do this year was the California Dreamin' Series (Huntington, San Fran, & Long Beach). I had no idea how fast races SOLD OUT so I was bummed when I didn't get into my first one at Huntington. So I began my search for another race and found the Lajolla Half (April 25th) and immediately got myself signed up. Then 2 weeks ago my friend Susie told me of her friend that was running the Carlsbad with her but was now moving and couldn't do it. So with a 2 WEEKS NOTICE I agreed to RUN with her....our goal was completion NOT speed.
When the race began it was in the mid forties but warmed up to be a most beautiful day. The run itself was a scenic route mostly along the coast line.
There is nothing better than the LOVE of a family. I couldn't do anything without them.
I am looking forward to running at least two more half marathons this year.. the Lajolla Half (April 25) and America's Finest City Half (August 15). I am also looking forward to having Susie as my race partner.... This is surely the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
