I still feel like yesterday wasn’t real! I signed up for this half to use as a training run since Connor had already signed up, but the closer it got to the race the more I wondered if I could pull off what’s always seemed impossible. 

I won’t lie I was super nervous going into this race. But Connor and Melissa hyped me up and believed in me the entire way! My goal was honestly 2:04, which would have been a 5 minute PR and I would have been so happy! But something clicked around mile 6 and I started picking up the pace while still feeling comfortable, so when I had 4 miles left I knew what I needed my splits to be to hit sub 2! Then Connor texted me to keep pushing and it was the last piece to the puzzle, I left it all out there on the course for a massive 10 minute PR and my elusive sub 2 half marathon!!

This race was absolutely stunning! The sunrise over the sound, the beach houses, the weather! It was just fantastic! And Connor ran a 1:33 which was a massive PR for him! Top 50 finishers! 😮‍💨

This was just the boost I needed heading into the final 7 weeks of training for the NYC marathon! 

Remember friends, you can do hard things! And having the right people in your corner makes a world of a difference!
