Had a great weekend running & watching some amazing runners put their hearts out on the line. To start off, I did an easy run with the group on Saturday morning, heading to the bridge & back before getting ready for my first ever trip to Philadelphia.
After we arrived in Philly, S & her brother invited me to join them on a scenic run of the city. We headed out of O.C. across the Ben Franklin into N.J., through urine tunnel & into No. Philly for a really revitalizing run. It was great to have new company & to see a whole new city.
On mile 20, after little sleep, we all headed to mile 20 to watch the race. All the PPTCers looked great, we definitely had a fun time cheering the racers on while listening to the Rocky soundtrack on repeat. As soon as we saw A, we joined in with her & finished the last 6 miles. The energy was great & made me want to be running more than just the last few miles of the race.
I don't care what people say, it takes some serious guts to run the way we do. To put all of your training on the line & hope for your dreams to come true. Watching the runners, I think I could see how non-runners might have a hard time understanding what is so tough...but they seriously have no idea what heartbreak we all have felt to get to the places we have got.
Distance: 24 miles (for the weekend)
State of Mind: Invigorated by others
