Ahh.. you and everybody else getting ready for next year.
My goal race is CIM in December and couldn't really treat this one as a real goal race so not bad.
And we run because we like itThrough the broad bright land
Great work.. doesn't get better than that.
Great experience. First race under his belt - yeah, confirmed he's got a long way to go, but he had a good time, saw all the clubs (and wants to join one) and learned what's possible. 16th out of 17, with 11:17, but a big grin at the end. Good stuff.

Speaking of which...
I'm seriously considering entering the Blame Spaniel 5K this weekend. Ran a five second half mile PR today (225)... in the drizzle... on wet pavement... and up hill..

Damn, nice 800 repeats there. 5k time trials are always good thrown in throughout training. I'd keep with the name too. That we can still blame him for the pain and suffering.

Finished. Garmin time: 4:53:33. If I hadn't hooked up with kmays and knifey I'd still be out there.But the race was great till the last 4-5 miles when my stomach went south.
Very nice meeting / seeing people!

Wet and painful. I still hurt, so I must have survived. No real blowup, just a gradual grinding down to nothing.

Only a true idiot pops their marathon cherry on Monkey. Well done.
3:54:17 for me today at Monkey. Caught up with lots of good people and met a few new ones too.
Learned you can't run a good marathon off 5k and XC season but what the hey.
Well done to WhoDat. Picked a friggin ball buster for a first marathon and hung tough. Well done.
Norm, sorry I missed seeing you at the monkey had to get back home ASAP as I was driving back alone, and could not risk driving too late at night after running the marathon.
It was brave of Richard to attempt the monkey as his first marathon (It was my first too, but I had a bit better training and knew I'd finish).
Anyway that was stupid race, should have taken a DNF as my leg was bothering me from the start, and by mile 13 was running on one leg. walking was more painful than running because of the nerve issue I have and walking stretches the nerve more than running. Was just a grind to the finish line. 10 minutes slower than my prior two attempts (4:41:13)
Sorry to have missed you too. Driving back to NC (?) hurting like that is hardcore. We had to leave also to get the kids back home for school today. Hope you get healed up.
Trent says you can't train but I won't go in there next year this untrained.
