Describe your race day.

I was excited, but scared. Mt. Hood was my first Full Marathon and I did not know what to expect.

I experienced every emotion possible; quite simply, I loved it.
Did you PR?

No, but this run gave me a basis for additional runs in the future.
How would you describe the course?

I loved the first 14/15 miles - then it got progressively hard. When you're going down, then gaining elevation - it just really hurts.
Tell us about your training.

I live in Alaska, I do a lot of outdoor running with my dogs and run a casual 4/5 miles a day about 5/6 times a week.
What advice would you give future runners?

Just click submit, process your payment, and no regrets.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Following the race, me and my family went to Bend, Oregon to relax.
