LA Charity 1/2 Marathon 2023 ⭐️

Each race/ course has a personality of it’s own, meaning there’s something special that you’ll remember from each one. From what I’ve heard, LA is very hilly so I thought to myself it would be perfect to come out here and race a half to get some good hill work in preparation for Boston. Unbeknownst to me, I’d be getting hill + agility work. At mile 2, the half marathon is merged neatly with the 5-Hour marathon pace group (mile 7), so we found ourselves weaving around thousands of runners beginning from mile 2, til the end of the race. Despite the challenge of the hills & weaving around people, I enjoyed it. 

My mindset through this was when you see people walking, keep going & stay focused. Run your own race! This allowed me to eliminate the distractions & focus on the plan. I got a quality workout and happened to finish 3rd place overall. Kinda crazy to come here and take a podium finish.🥉

Finish time: 1:21:44 || 5’59 Per Mile

Feeling confident. Feeling strong. Feeling prepared for what I plan to do in Boston…
