I ran my 10th marathon this morning. Today was the day it all mattered: training, weather, nutrition, hydration, and attitude.
I’m thrilled to report that the stars aligned for me, and I had the race of my life. I could’ve done without the heavy drenching rain the last 1.2ish miles, but what you gonna do.
As I sit here in my Hello Kitty Jammie pants, I can finally celebrate my 6 minute PR and YES, I QUALIFIED FOR BOSTON!!!! By 8 minutes!!!!!! No squeaker time for me this time, and I get redemption!!
Official time: 3:36:38
Seriously, I left it all out on the course today, and I was finally able to do what I knew I could do all along. Exhale.
Race report coming this week. Unfortunately for an interesting blog, but fortunately for me, I was in the most amazing zone during this race, so there’s not a whole big long story. But it’s a good story. 🙂
Running Boston And Beyond 
Congratulations!!! The best races happen when you’re in the zone.
It was the best race! Thanks!! If I could just bottle that zone….
Yay!!!! You killed it!!!! I’m so excited for you!!!!
Thanks!!! Did you even have a race today or was there a huge storm??
No storm. Chilly but not awful when moving. My race sucked though.
Ugh – sorry to hear that Judith! 😦 Can you not catch a break lately!?!?!
Apparently not. I’m waiting on some blood test results this week which hopefully will give some answers (sorry to hijack your amazing PR news post!).
Congratulations! Great job!
Thank you!!
So proud of you Kelli for all your efforts put into training and the race!! Mission accomplished!
Thanks! I can finally celebrate!!!
I’m so proud of you!! Way to crush it!! That is a HUGE PR!! 🙂
Thank you 🙂 I still can’t believe it!!!
Congratulations on BQing! So proud of you and glad you had a great race, despite the conditions. Plus 8 minutes is definitely not a squeaker time! You worked hard for it and it paid off. I hope you have a good recovery and can’t wait to read.

Wow!! Congrats!
