  1. Describe your race day.

    Excited! My daughter, coach and trainer did an excellent job of keeping me motivated all the way down the canyon. It was exciting to see family and friends along the way. It was my first attempt at a long run!
    Thanks Jami! ( at 72 that's awesome.)

  2. How would you describe the course?

    Beautiful if this is the terrestrial world I can't imagine the celestial world. I think I will stay here.
    I love running down hill so the grade was great for me.

  3. Tell us about your training.

    did three to five miles during the week. It's a walk run for me most days.
    Weekend found me increasing as the weeks progressed . The longest was 11.2 a week before the run.
    My daughter kept me going. We even practiced eating along the way.

  4. What advice would you give future runners?

    Start slow and keep a comfort run, don't try to out run anyone.
    Drink along the way and eat the fruit.

    Was great may do it agan. At 72 you don't know how your body will work. 5K's have always been a good fit for me.
