LOCATION: Huntington Beach, California
My aunt suggested that I do the Pacific Shoreline Marathon in Huntington Beach, California. It’s not too far from where they live, plus being the 10th anniversary of the race they were giving everyone a free MP3 player. I flew down to California and my cousin met me and we went to the expo. My aunt was suppose to take me around, but my grandpa needed her help, so my cousin was my ride around, She ended up doing the half marathon. I remember thinking that since I shaved 25 minutes off my time at Seattle, I could shave 15 minutes of my time and qualify or Boston. How naive I was! It wasn’t quite that easy. I started out running way too fast and hot the “wall” at mile 20. But I still managed to finish with a time of 3:38. I flew back later that day (which was Super Bowl Sunday). It was a good learning process.
