2011 Pittsburgh Marathon





My girlfriends and I committed to participating in the 2011 Pittsburgh Marathon.There were five of us who decided to compete on the Relay Team for the marathon and four girls who ran the Half Marathon. The majority of the girls had not participated in any type of marathon before so we were all extremely excited for this event. Team PUMAS was the name we created for the Relay. Unfortunately everything did not go as planned for our relay team (FYI- Trying to organize a relay team and get every one to their designated starting points when several streets in Pgh are closed and relying on shuttle services was a bit hectic.) However, we all finished the race and were very proud of our accomplishments! It was a great experience for me as I learned the importance of dedication, motivation, and team work. I am hoping to possibly participate in the half marathon next year.....
