New marathon PR: 3:31:08! 

Twin Cities, I love you! The most beautiful race, wonderful weather, insanely supportive crowd (the number of times I heard my name was WILD), and the sustainability initiatives?!?! Unmatched. Just a touch hilly, especially in the back half!

My body was not ready for what the course had in store. My quads and hamstrings felt ready to cramp at any moment and I legitimately was concerned I was going to fall/not make it to the finish. Side note: I can’t even tell you how badly I wanted to stop and jump in the bounce houses that people had in their yards. I tried to stop and walk at one point in the 20s and immediately said out loud “oh that was a mistake,” and just had to start running again 😂 This is the worst my legs have ever felt during any race, and I’m super proud of myself for finishing out the race and still getting a PR (technically two, I PRd my half by one second - I’ll take it!)

ALSO thank you thank you thank you to everyone who recorded a voice message for @runwithrally ! I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about it but wanted to give it a shot. This is actually one of the big reasons I made it through the race - hearing everyone’s words (or songs) of support at each mile was just insanely helpful and so special. 

Oh and this is your sign to make marathon weekend a girls weekend. So thankful that I could spend the weekend with some of my best friends, and that I knew so many people at a destination race 🥹🥹

Going back to speedwork after my two weeks of no running - still going to try to PR my mile! If anybody wants to pace me for a fast mile let me know 😂
