How did you feel when you qualified? Elated, overwhelmed, exhausted, thankful. The encouragement and energy from the crowd at the start line, other athletes I had the privilege to run with, and spectators along the course were amazing throughout the entire race. Crossing the finish line felt incredible, and getting to celebrate at the finish with friends who also raced was so special.

What dream are you chasing at the Trials?I can’t wait to step on the line some of the best in the nation. I want to give the race all I can while fully absorbing the atmosphere and the learning experience, as I’m still figuring out this whole marathon thing!
