Another marathon and state in the books! State #18 and marathon #24 completed last Sunday! Christian is a gem of a husband and sent me off solo to Seattle on Thanksgiving weekend, no less, to complete a new state. I'm so blessed to have such a supportive husband! I was able to stay at the race headquarters (never done that before!) relax of my own, meet up with my friend Noelle and her family for dinner the night before the race, and then run the race with Noelle! I've also never run a marathon with someone else for the entirety of the race, and it was a really fun experience. Noelle was 2 weeks off of marathon #2, and ended up running only 1 minute behind her Las Vegas time (🙌👊) because she is ah-mazing! I've always wondered what it might be like to pace a marathon, and this gave me a good idea of what it might be like and I'm excited about the possibility of that being part of my future racing plans.
I was supposed to meet up with my west coast college roomie, but unfortunately her family
all came down with crazy kinds of sickness and she was unable to get away. It was a bummer for sure, but I enjoyed my time in Seattle nonetheless and came back refreshed and homesick for my babies (all 4 of them 😉). Next up? Arizona in January!!
