New PR at Grandmas!

Great weekend at Grandma's Marathon! I completed my first athlete press conference, spent time with my family and friends and set another PR in the marathon!  Duluth is a great city and it was special to have set a new PR in front of so many friends and family there to support me!  This photo is me sprinting to the finish (I have never finished a marathon feeling so strong)!  I finished in 2:33:01 for 5th place in the women's field!

Here is a link to a story before the race
