Injured the last 3 weeks and couldn’t run and did not think this race would happen. But it did! Jackson River Scenic Trail Marathon in Covington, VA was EXTREMELY scenic. Despite missing three weeks of training at the end, I ran my personal best ever time (3:00.14) while finishing 5th overall to a bunch of 20 somethings. 1st masters and had the highest age graded (78%) result in the race (don’t ask it’s boring). Also qualified for the Boston Marathon! Very happy MLB and Beebs were there to cheer me on. Currently 2 beers in at our Airbnb and looks like a nap is right around the corner!
