This past Sunday, 07 December, I completed the Marathon of the Palm Beaches Half marathon (http://www.marathonofthepalmbeaches.com). It was a beautiful day, about 60 degrees F at 6:00 a.m. when the race started. I managed to jog the first eight miles and then finished up with combinations of walking and running for a total of just under 3 hours. It’s probably my worst time ever, but given the fact that I took six weeks off for bronchitis and it’s still hanging on, it could have been worse.
These guys and gals put on a great event! Everything is very well coordinated and they have lots of water/gatorade stations along with lots of wacky people cheering us on. I did this event last year and I will go back for sure. The views along Flagler drive of the water and the beautiful homes is just awesome. Another nice feature is that there aren’t too many competitors, so there’s plent of room to run and you won’t get run over if you’re walking. Good job guys and thanks to Publix for the post-race food!
