Recap on the Boston Marathon

Emma ran the Boston Marathon on October 11th and recaps her journey through the race. She began with the professional women’s start and finished 7th American!

“To get to the numbers (I am a competitor after all) I ran a small but very meaningful 32-second personal record to finish in 2:36:33 for 19th place, 7th American. On the course, I felt the exact swell of emotions I had hoped for and the excitement of the crowds was exactly the push I needed to race with joy, ditch the numbers on my watch, and race based on my instincts and experience.” Read more ->

Marathon Monday: Go Fast Take Chances

Because this former standout collegiate lacrosse player is primed and ready to accomplish a BIG goal. The type of goal that scares you. The kind that you mumble under your breath in hopes others won't hear you. In her first marathon in 2013 she ran a 3:54. In 2016 she ran her first Boston in 3:29. Last year she ran her second Boston in 3:21. She began working with RDP coach Phil Latter in March of 2017 and has run a PR in everything since. Her incredible progress is inspiring. So, what is her BIG goal this year? Read on and find out!
