Back in 2013 I started running this race, it was my 3rd half marathon and it was a very warm one, also that year I didn’t notice but someone had dented my car while running this race. It was a rough year and even though a ton of stuff went wrong and I didn’t end up staying in Palm Beach that year for the race I still wanted to do this race again the next year.
- A sweaty thumbs up.
- Sierra Nevada & new medal
- Close up of my 3rd half marathon medal.
- Pretty sand castle.
But the next year in 2014 I was better prepared and wanted to stay in West Palm for the race the night before to avoid driving back and forth for packet pick up and then back up super early in the morning before the race. I also went with my boyfriend, little did I know I was also running for two. By the end of that years race I was feeling very crappy about how I felt at the end of the race and wasn’t sure what was wrong. A few weeks later I found out why, my first pregnant half marathon!
By 2015 this race was my first postpartum half marathon, although I didn’t get a sub 2 half that year I was feeling more confident about getting back into racing after baby. Plus my mom went with us and brought my 4 month old to see us cross the finish line. That was a great feeling, even though Phoebe had no idea what was going on at the time.
In the spring of 2016 I got an email about how the race would not happen in 2016 but then later in the year I got another email stating how the race would be under new management and would be going on again in 2017! I signed up immediately for the low price of $65, basically a steal for half marathons in this area. Also with registration I got a free In Training for Palm Beaches Marathon tech tee which was a cool perk of signing up early.
What is even better is that I have a code for you to use, thanks to BibRave 🙂
