Describe your race day.
Definitely the finish line. That was the most amazing feeling, there aren't words that can adequately describe finishing your fist marathon, crossing over the finish line with your whole family there to cheer you on and congratulate you. It was super fun to run it with my husband! It was his first marathon too!
-
Did you PR?
I PR'd but it was my first race, so whatever I ran, I would PR :) I didn't qualify for Boston, but I plan on running this again in hopes to qualify.
-
How would you describe the course?
Beautiful scenery, primarily downhill, second half of the marathon was much harder than the first half because of the hills, but it was good.

Tell us about your training.
My training was good except I was sick and traveling for about a month and a half and that put me back a lot. If I were to give anyone advice, I would say consistency is the biggest thing you should focus on.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Be consistent with training! Do one mile at a time. Tell yourself you can do this, because you can. Be aware of clothes you chafe in, and don't wear anything you didn't train in (shoes included). On the course, save energy for the second half and try to be consistent with your pace. The week before, carb load and drink 7-8 water bottles a day. Morning of, eat a bagel with turkey and cheese, almonds, and a banana and sip on water.

What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
We traveled from Laguna Niguel. We drove the course before we ran it so we were mentally prepared for the hills when they came.
