Not all roses

CIM

It seemed that everyone that raced it in December had a fabulous race, a new PR or an Olympic Qualifer

Perfect weather 

Fabulous crowds

CA

Not me

I disliked the course with its unrelenting rolling roads 

My legs were beat up by mile 8. I disliked the boring roads. Really one of my least favorite courses.

I had the best half of a marathon ever. Fast. On target for my 305. 

Nope.

Stomach blew up. Legs cramped. I knew it by mile 15. I walked. Yes. Walked. 

I finished and my gosh I was happy about that. My best time in over a year, but, so far from my goal.

Onward we go. Onward I march. 

One day it will be mine. Not CIM ever again for me though. 

I raced Yuma AZ half marathon last week 

Great race. Love AZ.

On target. Legs felt heavy from 95 mile weeks in January. My fitness is coming straight along.

A podium third was wonderful. Not a PR but I was not going for one.Tokyo training 

Tokyo 3 weeks.

Huge thank you to my coach.
