Greater Raleigh Sports Spotlight: Our Writer Runs Rock 'n' Roll

My run through downtown Raleigh on the morning of April 8 was more than 13.1 miles. Not in actual distance, of course, because the legs couldn’t handle much more. The race, my first in the themed Rock ‘n’ Roll series, offered the chance to take plenty of steps forward, some faster than others, but also a chance to step back in time. I’m not new to Raleigh, and I’m not new to half marathons—through a bit of luck and a lot of craziness, April 8 was my second 13.1-miler in a span of three weeks, the first being western Wake County’s Tobacco Road Half Marathon. The Rock ‘n’ Roll event was my first 13.1 in the City of Oaks since Sept. 22, 2001—my first half marathon, and yes, I remembered the date without the help of Google.
