Qualifying Race and Time: California International Marathon, 2:16:43

How did you feel when you qualified? What was that experience like? A sense of relief! and the culmination of 3 years of dedicated, consistent training to get to this level. After college, I took a couple years off from training to focus on my career. And I found the itch again about 3 years ago, with the goal to really invest in myself. My best friend (who also develops my training) and I said this 3 years ago: let’s qualify for the Trials. Well, here we are accomplishing just that! 

What dream are you chasing at the Trials? It’s a quick turnaround to go from CIM to the Trials, but I’m aiming to go for another PR (if the Orlando weather allows). Another goal would be to place Top-100!
