Describe your race day.

Started the run seperated from my friends, which was the plan since I'm slower, a little more than half way through a wonderful lady began to pace with me and we spent the rest of the race getting to know each other and pushing one another to finish strong. She was a blessing and how I'll remember this race
Did you PR?

No but I wasn't here to PR! I signed up to prove I can get out and do another half and that's what I did
How would you describe the course?

LOVED the course. BUT I think the course needs to start higher and end at the bottom of the hill, when we hit the flat streets i lost all of my momentium. Had it ended at the bottom I would have kept my pace up
Tell us about your training.

Got out daily even just to do a couple miles
What advice would you give future runners?

Plan for it to be super cold cause you can shed layers or just put it in your bag before you start. That made it so nice to be able to drop out bags at the top so I didn't have to worry about layers.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Dinner at the BJs in West Covina and some shopping with the girls! Fun night before
