  • After running my first two half marathons in November and December, I thought I was done for a while, but a week before the Rock N Roll I was offered a free entry and I thought, why not? Yes, it's busy, yes, there are tons of people, and I absolutely loved it! One of the things I dislike about running is doing it by myself, and in this race I was absolutely never alone. There were people running all around me, bands playing, people cheering, even high school cheerleading teams out rooting us on. The organization was great as well. The expo the day before was super smooth to get your number and t-shirt and there were all sorts of great vendors on display, Fox 10 was one of the sponsors and I even got to catch up briefly with John Hook who I had worked with more than 20 years ago at the NBC station in Tucson. The morning of the race was very easy. I took a light rail train filled with runners across town to the ASU campus and followed everyone to the start line. There are UPS trucks there where you can leave your gear bag and then you head for your starting corral. It was a little chilly so some people brought throwaway clothes to wear until they warmed up, but with my t-shirt, running sleeves, and running tights I was fine. The course itself is extremely scenic. You start on the ASU campus, head up Hayden to McDowell, take a quick jaunt through SkySong, up Scottsdale Road to Thomas, over to 56th Street, back South to McDowell, up and down the hill at McDowell which gives you an amazing view of the Phoenix skyline, through Papago Park, down Van Buren, across the Mill Avenue bridge, turn right on Rio Salado Parkway and you're at the finish line before you know it. Some elevation but not too much, and tons of great places to take photos. At the end, you get your medal, and are given lots of food and drinks to replenish yourself. I polished off a Powerbar, banana, Chocolate Milk, and a water before I even got out of the finish area and found my family. The festival afterward is great as well. I got my free Michelob Ultra and the kids got something to drink. We listened to a bit of the headliner, Better Than Ezra, before we had to head out to my 9-year-old's soccer tournament. Overall, this was an A+ experience and I am definitely thinking of running it again!
