My longest run in training before the race was only 6 miles thanks to a nasty calf strain but I was still able to run the race and finish. I wasn’t concerned with making a good time, just finishing.

Almost all of my training was done on the treadmill and I ran 3 or 4 times a week. My next big adventure is the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler in the spring. My goal is to break the 2 hour mark.
