Marine Corps Marathon 2017 | My First Marathon | Vlog & Race Recap

#runwiththemarines #marinecorpsmarathon #alwaysearnednevergiven
MCM was my first marathon. If this is your first as well, you couldn't have chosen a better one. Race vlog starts at 6:40, my recap and thoughts come at 10:50
This video has footage from the race expo, as well as from the race itself, plus as a bonus, at the very end you'll find a race recap with what I loved so much about this race, and what I'd do differently.
I hope this helps you if you are running this year's MCM!!
Good luck!!

I'm ready for MCM. I've got 58 days to go and am running a half marathon distance for training this weekend. This will be my 3rd Marathon this year so I'm feeling pretty burnt out and ready to be done training lol. I'm so excited for this experience! What did you buy from the expo? Did they have different Brooks official MCM merchandise at the finisher area versus the expo? Thanks!

[@IRunThings]

Third marathon this year! Wow girl, you must be in insane good shape! Good luck with MCM. 😊 You know... I didn't buy anything at the expo, but I was happy to get some free merch. I ordered the finisher t-shirt (the one I am wearing in the video) and had it delivered at home. I opened it afterwards and it made me super happy. There were long lines for everything. Xoxo suzie q
