Seven years ago (thanks for the heads up, Facebook), I ran what I still consider to be the best, most glorious race of my life. My goal that day was to finally break two hours in a half-marathon. I had gone from 2:14 to 2:07 to 2:00.03, and wanted to shave off those final four seconds. I was fresh off a breakup, and my training was mostly fueled by Pinot Grigio and late nights with narigrause. Maybe not a recipe for success — except that it was. I finished that race in 1:44:48. The race formerly known as the National Half Marathon is still my half-marathon PR. I’ve tried to beat it, but it hasn’t happened yet. (Someday!) That was also the day I met emilysweats! And then went to my first big “blogger meet-up,” which was...interesting! And perhaps more importantly, that race marked my first time running in legwarmers. So, big day. HUGE.
