Describe your race day.

Loved the course, perfect weather, awesome volunteers!!! Made a fun girl's trip with awesome friends!!!
Did you PR?

Yes, PR'd by 14 minutes and qualified for Boston.
How would you describe the course?

The first 3-4 miles were my favorite, beautiful & scenic. The rest of the scenery was just ok in my book. A few little hills on the first half but nothing too significant and the downhill grade made up for it. The last half seemed a lot less downhill but not totally flat. The last 5 miles though, hard, flat, and un-scenic.
Tell us about your training.

Felt great about my training, I originally signed up for the half but decided to do the full because my friends were all training for full marathons.
What advice would you give future runners?

We drive the course the day before the race so we knew what to expect, I was glad we did.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Cheesecake Factory for dinner & shopping at the outlets. We came from St. George, Utah.
