  Jesse (disciplemaniac) · 2015

  The runner found the paved neighborhood loops monotonous and increasingly lonely after the half-marathon field finished. Wind and late fatigue made the final lap hard, but completing the full felt worthwhile. Familiarity and meeting other runners helped draw the author back to the event.
