Describe your race day.

I entered this race with my daughter, Ellen Lindsay, and my Grandson, James Linsay. It was the first time I had done anything like this. We did not arrive at the same time, but it was wonderful to be there together. We came from Washington state, but along the way, we met some old friends who we had not seen for several years.
Did you PR?

At first, I was just hoping to complete it. But as the race went on, I wanted to complete the 1/2 marathon in 3.5 hours. I made it within minutes of that time.
How would you describe the course?

The course was great for me. I loved the canyon.
Tell us about your training.

I had not walked for a few years and I started walking 3 or 4 miles a day in anticipation of the event. I am glad that it made me start walking again.
What advice would you give future runners?

I would tell them that you guys put on a very organized program. Well done!
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

visited family.
We are from Leavenworth, Washington.
