  2. Describe your race day.

    Very first Marathon ever. Great event and location, couldn't ask for a better place to try out my very first marathon run. My shins took a beating, but learned a lot from this event and met a lot of marathon runners who shared great advices. I'll be making sure to utilize this wonderful experience and the great advices to prepare for my next marathon. I'll be looking foward to the next revel run. Thank you for a great experience!

  3. Did you PR?

    I didn't get much training for this run and it was my very first marathon run. I guess I have my own first PR for a marathon now. But I was able to set new PR's on my 3miles,6miles and half marathon runs. Sadly I did not qualify for Boston Marathon.

  4. How would you describe the course?

    The course was beautiful. The downhills took a beating on my legs. But overall the course was great, beautiful views all around.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    I didn't train at all for this event due to a life event. Which probably why I wasn't happy with my results. Just had to suck it up, stretch properly and get it done. I'll make sure to train well and utilize what I learned from this run and from everyone's helpful advice for the next race. I would advice others to train well and be prepared for this race.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    It is a great event and course. It is all downhills and few uphills. Just make sure to stretch properly before running. When getting on the bus to get to the start line, take the front row seats or just close your eyes, the road and crazy bus drivers may cause you to get motion sickness.

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

    Drove from Sherman Oaks and driving back wasn't fun with legs hurting. So enjoyed the location to avoid traffic and took lots of photos and ate lots of tacos!
