PHOENIX-"Work it baby, work it! Own it!" yelled a friend from the sidelines as I smiled and waved. I wasn't listening to an iPod. I wanted to experience all the sights and sounds of my first P.F. Chang's marathon - the bands, the cheerleaders, runners chatting, everything! I'd only run a couple of miles when I saw my friend and by then I had warmed up. It was an unusually cool 29 degrees earlier that morning when I arrived at the start line.
