  2. Describe your race day.

    The weather was perfect! The event was well organized.

  3. Did you PR?

    My goal was to complete the race. My last full marathon was in 2012 and my time was 6:10. I completed this race in 5:16.

  4. How would you describe the course?

    Nice and easy downhill.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    Training on this course was important. I trained twice on this course by completing to long runs: 12 miles and 20 miles. The 12 miles was a breeze. The 20 miles was more challenging because it was extremely hot (it was 99 degrees in October). The day following the 20 miles, I was in pain (shin splints) a reminder to stretch before and after the run.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    I would recommend that you train running downhills at least one long run. You'll get a sense of areas of your body may be in pain after the marathon. :)

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

    After the race we took lots of pictures. I treated myself to onion rings!
