Races

I completed my 8th marathon, the NCR Marathon, on the NCR trail in northern Maryland which is considered a small, local race. While training for this I definitely had my doubts along the way. This was my first marathon after having my second baby in July 2023 and life has been a little crazy this year! In the end it all worked out and I met my goal, and I am so glad I ran this race. I'm hoping to share my experience for anyone else who is having their doubts about running a marathon or is considering running this race.
