One of the first things I did after finishing Sunday's marathon was to stagger over to the results area to check on the half-marathon finishers. I was so thrilled to see our very own Marist Running alum Lisa D'Aniello had won her age group (20-24). Lisa blitzed the 13.1-miler in 1:32:40, winning her division by more than 13 minutes!
Lisa even took the time to jog a few steps with me at the end of the marathon. Even though I was feeling a little wobbly after my long run, her strong half-marathon finish certainly made my day and made me feel a whole lot better!
Lisa is setting her sights on the New York City Marathon in a few weeks, her first foray at 26.2 miles. I think she will do great!
