                    Congrats!  That's quite a time drop.  Did you do something dramatically different?

                        Congrats, especially given that it got a little warm toward the end.

                         

                        I have a question.  I was a bit behind you... at your pace, did you have trouble with the half marathon merge at M22 and beyond?  In the 3:45 zone, it was wall-to-wall half marathon walkers for the last 3 1/2 miles.  The last time I ran AF was 2007, and I don't remember it... but then again, I was a wee bit faster that year.

                            I am attempting to take off a similar-sized chunk of time, also in a single training cycle. And I have been thinking  I'm probably crazy for even trying, so it's great to know it can be done!
