Run Rocklin is a neat little race that runs through my neighborhood. They offer a 5k, 12k, and a half marathon. I have ran the 5k and the half marathon, but not the 12k yet.
I led a small group of runners to go from couch to a 5k. We decided to make Run Rocklin 5k the race to work towards. One of the runners, Jenn, discovered that the 5k only gets a ribbon and not a medal. She asked if she thought it was possible for her to run the 12k instead. So, we bumped up the training a bit. It was hard, but she did it! We ended up running the 12k instead!
since this race is local, we always run into other running friends. Its quite the party!
