  2. Describe your race day.

    It was so exciting because we drove the course the day before and loved the scenery. This was only my second marathon, I ran L.A. in March 2018. By far this experience was far more enjoyable. What is branded in my mind was running above the clouds and breaking through them as we descended, might be cheesy but this was my most favorite moment. It's always amazing to connect with God's creation.

  3. Did you PR?

    Yes. I did not have a goal other than to finish the race but I beat my last time by 22 minutes. I wasn't even trying for it.

  4. How would you describe the course?

    Beautiful, other than the last 3 miles too many pot holes and traffic too close to runners. There must have been some confusion on their part.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    I didn't train enough. Next one I will train harder to improve on speed. The suggestions from a gentleman at the expo were very practical and informative. I definitely am going to work on strengthening my quads.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    You must cross the 26.2 marathon off your bucket list. Best tip from running my last marathon and doing this one, I wore compression socks and applied tp tape to my feet, calves and shoulder. Best thing I could ua e done.

  7. What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

    We are from the area but by far great area for restaurants and choices in foods.
