Describe your race day.

the beginning of the race was so beautiful. the early start time was great because it was still cool, and the sunrise was absolutely stunning! it would have been nice for the finish line to be more spectator friendly so loved ones could watch us finish without taking a bus to and from it.
Did you PR?

yes! PR'd by 4 minutes, and qualified for Boston!
How would you describe the course?

first few miles were breathtaking; rolling hills at the end were unexpected and hard!
Tell us about your training.

ran 2-3 times a week, focusing more on speed than mileage. made sure to incorporate both uphills and downhills in my training.
What advice would you give future runners?

bring a throw-away shirt for the first few miles while your body is warming up.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

we explored Timberlodge after the race and it was lovely!
