Marathon! St. Luke’s D&L RaceFest

An exciting personal share! As a huge fitness enthusiast and distance runner I was so excited to finally knock this one out! For over twenty years I have done races all over the world from 5Ks to half marathons and my goodness was this extra special. Final time 4:22:13! It was an intense training and I Iearned so much about myself and the marathon not just in the race but also in the training. It takes a lot of mental toughness for this race and its just my style :) Special thanks to Dave Parsons (39 marathons to date!) for the expert advice, Hal Higdon’s online training program and fantastic recovery and sports massage by Greg Glassman at Discover Movement Boston. All keys to a great race. 

Lastly, a special shout out to St Luke’s Race Director Mike Drabenstott for coordinating everything so on point – course was awesome and everything was so buttoned up! Congratulations to all runners!
