Describe your race day.

I got up, drove to the bus, boarded, got to the start line, ran, drove home, had a lovely run.
I loved the scenery. The people running the race were positive. Thank you.
Did you PR?

No. I was hoping to beat at least my 5 years ago PR, not my PR from fast years about 20 years ago :) But I did run about 4 minutes faster than last year's Veteran's Day half and it was just as beautiful if not more so!
How would you describe the course?

Gorgeous! Amazing views. Green trees, pines as well as cacti and canyons!
Tell us about your training.

I have been running marathons, I do about 5 a year, the last was about a year ago, so this was a half in between. I had already run a recent full and signed up for Tucson, so this one was too close in between them both. But I will think of doing the full next year maybe!
What advice would you give future runners?

Love it. Enjoy it.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I live in the area. I went home to enjoy my garden.
