Redemption.

Awesome Marlene!! Congratulations!
Hoping you're feeling pretty good today. The weather was tough yesterday but today's weather is far worse. I'm curious whether you would have run yesterday with weather like today's or made a last minute shift to one of the other fall races. Four plus hours in strong winds and a heavy rain would be too much for me.
yay. so happy for you! awesome job, can't wait to read all about it!
Great job! You have worked very hard this year. Glad to see you get such a big PR!
