Back to the Beginning

A year ago I ran my first half marathon at the Inaugural Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon in Providence, Rhode Island.


Since then I have run three more.


This weekend, my husband and I will be returning to Providence to run the Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon again. We are looking to bring home some new bling!


It rained the entire 13.1 miles last year and while we really don't want to do that again, RnR PROV is offering a Rainy Day Refund. If it rains more than an inch between 7-12, we can get a refund or a free entry into another RnR race event.



Last year we had dinner at the WaterPlace Restaurant, a really nice place right there in the Capitol Center of Down City within walking distance of most of the race hotels.


This year we will be looking for a place that serves up what we consider to be a better food group for our pre-race dinner!


What is your go-to pre-race meal?

And for those of you who asked, here is the crab dip recipe I mentioned in this post.


Don't forget to check out other great recipes at the WIAW link up at Peas & Crayons.
