This story is about my wife's marathon debut. Like most distance runners, she downplays her achievements.

In her first half marathon attempt in a long time, she won the America's Finest City ½ Marathon in San Diego, CA on a hilly course in 1:14. Given that time, she thought she might attempt the full marathon. She chose the California International Marathon in Sacramento, CA. She came in second place in a time of 2:34:44, which was good for $3000 US.
