Describe your race day.

Perfect. Weather was perfect. Course was perfect. Fuel and water stops perfect. Wish the pacers were there as promised, but it still worked out by asking other runners their goals.
Did you PR?

YES! By close to four minutes. Also a Boston qualifier for me!
How would you describe the course?

Not as easy as I thought, but also not as much a downhill as I feared. It really was perfect! Didn't expect those few hills!
Tell us about your training.

Trained hard with the Jack Daniels' RunSMART program. Proud of how hard I trained!
What advice would you give future runners?

Expect ANYTHING at the start line - snow, rain, hail...but expect also a memorable racing experience!
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Afterwards I enjoyed doing absolutely nothing but having a celebratory drink...and the pool at the Marriott hotel and Mother's Day brunch the next morning.
