About 10 years ago I watched the movie Without Limits about Steve Prefontaine and loved it. I loved the movie and the story of Prefontaine so much I decided that one day I was going to go to Coos Bay, OR and see where it all started.
On September 19 2009 I finally made it to Coos Bay, OR not only did I make it to Coos Bay but I participated along with about 1200 other people in the Steve Prefontaine Memorial 10k! The race took us on one of his old training routes and up a long hill called agony hill. It was pouring rain and one of the hardest 10ks I have ever done but I had a great time! I finished 10th in my age group and 100 out of around 550 women. What a great time I had. I hope I can go back there again!
