So. Myrtle Beach. As I've mentioned probably every year since I've been blogging, I've had a Myrtle Beach half/full marathon streak going for quite sometime. In fact, MB 1/2 was my very first organized race back in 2005. This year, however, with the move 1,000 miles North, I figured the streak would broken.
