Yessssssss so excited that you’re running CIM! I LOVED my CIM experience and race (and 9 minute PR/BQ!). It’s a great course, well managed, and the weather was perfection when I was there in 2011.

Sounds like a great plan. I’d love to run CIM one day, so I’ll be looking forward to your recap!

First week of December is a good time to race. You know with almost certainty it will be cool and that always helps.

My only issue was that I have a packed schedule for the year that by the time that first week of Dec rolls around I am usually shot especially now with the HIM and IM being a part of my life.

You are much smarter than I and probably not packing 12-15 races into a year so you’ll be golden.

I ran it last year, for my first marathon. It was great. The weather at the beginning was in the high 30s / low 40s and it warmed up to maybe the 50s during the day. The course is flattish (it goes up and down a little) and goes through the majority of Sacramento, ending downtown, which is beautiful.

FYI if you have any friends spectating, DON’T have them waiting at the hand off for the relay or you will never find them. Tell them to go downtown and have a beer and wait there.

you’re far too hard on yourself, you have nothing to “make up for” but I am really excited about this marathon, it sounds like a great one!

Awesome! The cool weather would have won me over, too. I’m checking out some fall marathon options but am not sure yet what the fall will hold. That will be a great race for another shot at a pr!

I love your perspective on Boston. I can empathize with all the thoughts, but I like how you bring it back to controlling what we can control.

I have heard only positives about CIM!!
