Tell me about your experience at the Rock n’Roll marathon. 

• Coach Head: I always enjoy the experience. The last half was the best around mile 8 because of the tribute to the military.
• Mrs. Rodriguez: I originally signed up with my husband, but he hurt hurt his ankle playing basketball so he couldn’t participate. I asked Ms. Lesczynski if she could go with me and she wanted to, so we ran the race together. It was a fun experience and we had a good time. It was hard because neither of us had ever run that far,but we made it!
