PF Chang's Rock and Roll Arizona Marathon!

[Bateluer]

The Competitor Group/Rock and Roll group always puts on a good, albeit pricey, event. I'd done the Disney World Goofy Challenge the weekend prior, half and a full back to back, so I didn't intend to run PF Chang's very fast. I will say that 7 days is NOT enough recovery time between full marathons though. I managed to pull a 4:12 time, but everything after mile 17 was extremely painful. My thighs were experiencing contractions and cramps worse than I've felt before. 🙁

I managed to keep up with the 4:00 pacer until mile 16, then I fell back. I'll try again to post a sub-4hr marathon at IMS Arizona next month.

You are seriously crazy dude. You did the Goofy challenge and then a week later did another marathon? And you're doing another marathon in a month??? You're insane! I'm impressed you could even walk, let alone post a 4:12 marathon after the Goofy challenge! Good luck at Arizona next month!!!

Well, we did the Goofy Challenge runs pretty slow, I posted a 2:05 on the half. We did 2 ones, 2 minute runs, 1 minute walks, for the full. This way we could pose for pictures with the Disney characters and save our legs for walking around the parks the next few days. We finished the full in around 5:53.

I'm registered for several events right now, a half marathon on the 30th, a full marathon on 14 Feb, another half on 6 March, and I registered for the Las Vegas R&R 2010 Half next December at the PF Chang's expo. Its damn expensive, even with the discount at the expo.

I need to register for the Disney Land half marathon in September in order to get the coast to coast medal too, but its 120 bucks. 🙁

Wow, that is rugged dude. Props on having perfected masochism. 😉

I'm hoping to be able to run at the very least the P.F. Chang half marathon next year here in AZ. I'll just call it the "P. Chang" marathon...

Its a good race. Be sure to bring your own gel though, the Half course doesn't have any until mile 9 and the full until mile 19. Far too late to be of real use.
