Rachel decided she wanted to celebrate her 35th birthday by doing something she'd never done before...
RUN A HALF MARATHON!
And you know what makes this even more impressive? Rachel's not a runner! She's never been a runner. She stepped waaaaaaaay out of her comfort zone when she signed up for this race.
Rachel continued lifting weights twice a week, she kept going to yoga and dance class, and she slowly and methodically increased her mileage each week. She flew to Salt Lake a few days early, spent some time with her brother, and gave herself a chance to acclimate to the altitude. On race day, she felt strong and healthy and READY TO GO!
Rachel, we admire your willingness to step outside the box, stay focused and do the work, and truly enjoy the moment on race day! We love that you came back energized and more motivated than ever! You've given us the perfect blueprint on how to celebrate your day of birth, so thank you!*
