Inaugural Pasadena Rock n' Roll

Let me start with, what an INCREDIBLE race! I don't know if I am biased because it took place where I train every Saturday, but it was such a great race! The course was amazing, the spectators awesome, the weather perfect, super organized, and I PR'd so what's not to like?! 
It's the smallest half marathon I've participated in, so far, with less than 6,000 participants. But, I have a feeling the numbers are going to grow, with all of the positive feedback it has been receiving. It was truly a wonderful day.
It was nice to see so many familiar faces running, sporting their Team in Training jerseys. To be able to see so many teammates as we ran by each other, was the topper to the event. My Team in Training family, from different seasons, and different locations, we are all connected. It doesn't matter what season or where we train, you can always count on hearing a "GO TEAM" when you pass a fellow TNTer. It really reminded me of just how intertwined our journeys are, whether we know one another or not.
This half marathon was a blast and like I said, I PR'd. My finishing time was 2:54:23, which is a 5 minute improvement since The Tinkerbell half less than a month ago. I am super happy with my PR, and can't wait for the next race, although I am quite nervous for the LA Marathon. A new journey, a new goal, to finish the race. See you next time!
