What an absolutely beautiful marathon! Wow. Wish I could have taken pictures during the run! I ran very smart, starting in about 7:30 pace and warming into sub-7s. It was hard to judge paces since there is about 1200ft of elevation change. Two of the hills are literally 1.5 miles long and average 3.3% and…

I’m pumped to have run a big PR! I wanted to start out a little faster and latch onto a group of faster women. Typically I race from behind, taking the first mile slower and then ramping up my pace. But, that often means I’m not really “racing” with others – I’m simply moving up…
