Yesterday was a blast! First leg 4:49, second leg forgot to start my watch, and so much fun in between cheering on friends from across the running industry. The Marathon Relay is the BEST way to kick off Boston Marathon weekend!!

Excited to be going back to the New Balance Marathon Relay this year!! Last year, my goal was to run a sub-5 minute mile leg to keep a 23 year sub-5 streak going and ended up running 4:49. This year, I decided to up the ante on myself, and since I turned 40 in March, my goal is sub 4:40 at 40. I’ve been training since January with this single objective, and it took until my workout today to feel like it might actually be in me. Still, I’m hoping a crazy fast track and fun environment add the little extra magic needed to bring it all together. 10 days to go!!!
