Denver Rock n Roll Half

Spontaneity as defined by Webster as: an act proceeding from natural feeling or native tendency without external constraint

Six days prior to Denver, I had no idea what I was doing the weekend of October 8th, 2011.

Looking into my calendar, I realized all my weekends were booked with weddings, showers, football, all the typical fall rituals without any room for random happenstance.

So I went on halfmarathons.net and kayak.com searching down the line until I found a fun, new place to run with cheap airfare. I called up my younger sister, Jean, and she was able to join me. Six days later we were in Denver!

The sub 40 degree, rainy weather didn't stop us from having a great 24 hours together. We had never flown any where just the two of us. It was so special and we had enjoyed every minute of it!

18,000 others ran the Rock n Roll Half Marathon Race with me through the streets of downtown at 5200 feet above sea level. The altitude affected only my breathing rate the last several miles. I was proud of my 1:44 finish and making it into the top 600 finishers overall (Top 250 of the 9,000 females).

Planning can consume us if we aren't careful. I challenge you to GO out and do something spontaneous today!
