I had a fantastic time at the Santa Barbara International Marathon this morning. Perfect racing weather, a gorgeous setting, and lots of support from the locals along the route.
26.2 miles later, I am one happy runner!
Everything came together for me and I finished at 4:02:39.5 for my first marathon! Best of all, I finished with a smile on my face. No matter that now I’m doing the “marathon shuffle” and could use a walker to help me get around on my sore legs. I am too happy to care about that!

Thanks Rose. I felt great after the race, better than I expected, and my husband even made the comment that I could train for an Ironman. I don’t know about that but I’ll be watching your training and race carefully. I am confident you’ll do well!
