I still have months to go before I'm anywhere near ready to run again. But at 6.5 months pregnant I'm already anticipating the day I can climb a flight of stairs without gasping for breath at the top. So when I read about this half marathon (happening today) I decided to get it in the calendar for next year and make it my post baby 'get back in shape' goal.
Why this race? Water stations staffed by firefighters and a chocolate aid station. Need I say more?
Hot guys and chocolate aside for a moment, I like the reason they started a women's race,
"Competitive female runners tend to feel that they are the “chase” group. An all women’s race lets them experience the rush of being first across the finish line instead of being the first woman across the finish line."
I'm nowhere near a competitive runner but in my triathlon days I once participated in a race that had the womens age groups start and finish before the mens. It was kinda neat being at the lead of the race instead of way at the back which happens when you're in the 3rd or 4th last wave to start.
that is nice and its so awesome from some one can get helpfull from it.
