Why I wish I’d run the Run with the Stars Half-marathon

Sure, I have a new PB time for the 8k distance, but I wish I’d run the Hollywood half on Saturday instead:

I’ve mentioned before the boy band of my dreams. And I discovered last week (ie. too late for me to plan to run it) that Joey McIntyre of NKOTB was running the Run with the Stars Half-marathon in Hollywood yesterday. The race raises money for Alzheimer’s research and he ran it in honour of his mom, who suffers from the disease.

His finish time? Pretty darn close to the times of my last two half-marathons. All this to say I could’ve run alongside him. Although perhaps it’s good I didn’t — probably would’ve forgotten to hydrate, fuel, etc., because I would’ve been too distracted (and he’s not even my favourite!).
