I went into training for REVEL Rockies with the goal of running the marathon with a time to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Unfortunately, life sometimes has a different plan than we have for ourselves. I acquired a foot injury and drastically cut back on training, forcing myself (begrudgingly) to switch to the half marathon. I ended up, foot injury and all, running a 1:34:07 half marathon, which was a near 7 minute improvement upon my previous best half marathon time. The added bonus to my amazing race time, was the running the beautifully scenic race course with a very nice pacer, and experiencing the most well-organized race I have done to date.

FREEbie Friday is back! REVEL Rockies is a spectacularly scenic and incredibly fast marathon and half marathon from the Rocky Mountains to the foothills of Denver happening July 19, 2015.

I had a wonderful time running the REVEL Rockies on August 17, which is my birthday. I turned 51 that day, and was also my 51st all time marathon. There was no better way to celebrate a birthday in my opinion. This had to be the most scenic course I've ever run a marathon on, those views were spectacular and breathtaking. I'm recovering from a knee injury, no BQ for me on this one. But to me, it was a celebration, of healthy living and happiness. I already ran Boston this past April and that was the most amazing experience of my life. I was so happy to hear about how many of the runners BQ at this marathon and will be able to experience what I experienced in Boston. I will run this marathon again next year and be 100%. Happy running marathoners!
