Things I Learned from My Half-Marathon in Paris
By: Brenda Stallings
I love running and I love Paris so it’s no surprise to my family and friends that I decided to run the 2012 Semi-marathon de Paris. Last year, I volunteered for the 2011 Paris Marathon and manned the water stop at 21K (mile 13.1) and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Immediately upon my return home, I started making plans to run the Semi-marathon.
During the summer months, as I waited for registration to open, I secured an apartment and purchased my plane ticket. I received notification that registration would open September 15, 2011 at 4am CST. The day before registration opened, I notified my credit card company that I would be making an International transaction so that my credit card would not be rejected. I set my alarm, woke up and registered. The cost was 27 Euro ($36). However, one thing that is very different with European races is that you must submit a medical certification (Doctor’s clearance) and submit the certificate to complete your registration.
From the date of registration in September until leaving in February, seemed like an eternity and then all of a sudden, I didn’t have enough time before boarding my plane. Four (4) ladies from my running group, Black Girls RUN!, (Nikki, Carol, Sheila & Gwen) accompanied me on this running trip along with my sister, Pattie, and her husband, Steve. Pattie and Gwen volunteered during the race and I was ever so grateful to see a familiar faces on the race course.
There are seven (7) lessons I learned while running an International Race: Read more
