Toward Santa Cruz

Just a couple of weeks to the Santa Cruz Half Marathon.

On the heels of a sub-4hr marathon in Napa, I will attempt to achieve my other Spring running goal of going sub-1h45min for a Half Marathon. That means taking another 1min30s off of my PR Half time (achieved just a couple of weeks ago) - sustaining an 8:01min mile pace for 13mi. It's going to take everything I've got at this point!

PR Marathon 3:55:45 !


Mission accomplished! Second marathon completed; first time under 4hrs.

Really hard - miles 21 through finish; could no longer sustain sub-9min pace. But I persevered and finished sub 4hrs.

What a great sense of satisfaction!

Napa Valley Marathon Eve

Tomorrow is the main event!

I feel on top of the world - excited.

Thank you to my coaches, captains and all my friends at Team In Training for getting me to this place!

Siobhan will be in my thoughts tomorrow.
