Did you PR?

I got a 6 minute PR and qualified for the Boston Marathon by 9 minutes!
How would you describe the course?

It was beautiful, first and foremost. The first half was a terrific downhill, but the second half was brutal! The rolling hills never ended. The volunteers were terrific. The aid stations perfectly spaced and well stocked. Plenty of clean porta potties.
Tell us about your training.

I trained uphill AND downhill, which was my salvation on the second half. I would tell others to train the transition between up and downhills. I would also advise people to not go out too fast and save some juice for that second half!
