A great big THANK YOU to those of you who helped me accomplish this goal.
I completed the Run for One and finished the Virginia Beach Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon Sept. 2, 2007. I felt like it was the best race I'd ever run.
It wasn't my fastest time (1:42), but it was better than I'd expected (1:48). It worked out to be about 8.3 minute miles (for 13 miles). And the feeling of being a part of something bigger than myself was remarkable and irreplaceable.

Our hotel was right on the beach, and I enjoyed some down-time after a very hectic week (layoffs at work).
