Describe your race day.

Awesome. Perfect weather. Perfect amount of aid stations. The police officer patrolling at mile 12.5, was awesome!!! Cheering you on and giving you that last push!
Did you PR?

I did!! It was awesome. I am usually a 8:35 min/mile. I did this race with an average of 7:30!!!
How would you describe the course?

Beautiful. The "s" curve in the canyon was rough on my ankles. But fun race.
Tell us about your training.

I have been running 3/ days a week since January. I do 2 runs of 5 miles each and the 3 RS day is my long run, anywhere from 7-10 miles. I also lift weights 3 days/ week. I felt the cross training gave me more flexibility and strength/ endurance in my legs.
What advice would you give future runners?

Train train train. And have FUN. Cheer people on as you run.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Listened to the band and took fun pictures!
