Personal:

I am a 27 year old girl, from Illinois (via NYC), currently living in Austin, TX.  

I've been running for about 6 years, have completed 14 marathons and recently qualified for the Boston Marathon with a time of 3:34!  This was a 23 minute PR for me!

After years of running very high mileage at pretty slow paces, I decided to get serious and joined Gilbert's Gazelles training group. The BQ came 8 months later.

Hoping this blog will help add some further insight and organization to my running. :)

Finally a rest day since the half marathon!  I am taking this day to mentally prepare for the hill-torture that we have to put ourselves through tomorrow. 

Did some Core Yoga instead.

Dasha - not looking forward to the lollipop loop at the end - that's just sinister. Save enough for a strong finish coming down Barton Hills Dr. at the end.

What about lolipop in the rain?

I am going to bring a lolipop instead of Gu!
