No. 3: San Dieguito Half Marathon, February 10

I registered last minute for this race when I learned a friend was running the 5 K. Since my late mother-in-law was a member of the San Diego Hash House Harriers, who organize the event, I decided to run in memory of her. I pinned a photo of her and her Hasher name on my shirt. At the start line, I shared tears and laughter with her friends. I finished strong and proud that I completed my first consecutive half marathons. I will definitely run this again as the course is challenging with a friendly atmosphere among participants.
