“I took a step away from competitive running for a few years as I settled into post grad life and was working an incredibly demanding job,” said Passani to CMS distance in the days leading up to the race. “I knew for a few years that my goal was to qualify for the Olympic trials in the marathon and in my first marathon back from taking time away, I did just that.”
