Didn’t feel like doing the “long” run I had planned, so did a shorted steady state run

We’ll get there. Have patience.

Every marathon finish is a good marathon finish.

This did not go as planned. Complete course change 36-hours before the start (I applaud the organizers for what they did in so little time when the original course became unusable due to a water main break on course. Luckily their old course went a different direction, and was still certified!).

The short but STEEP hills were a killer on the legs. 

Also I don think the 3-week turn around is ideal for me, but it seemed like a good idea after the first one.

On the positive side, this is another BQ, and state #25. Tenth place overall, 4th in age group.
