It was definitely my day, I went in with the mindset to PR or die and that’s exactly what I did- I finished in 1:38:17, over a minute faster than my previous best of 1:39:30. The weather was perfect and the atmosphere/crowd was absolutely electric. I forced myself to start out slow and it paid off big time. This is my first time setting a personal best in over a year- it feels incredible to say the least.

Great job to all the runners today!

Also a huge shoutout to my coach Carson Williams who stuck with me even when I struggled this summer and kept me going. My last mile was 7:04 which has NEVER happened before. I am in awe of all the support, to all the people who cheered for me all over the course- thank you so much!!
