Hey, I just set my HM PR 3 weeks after my marathon, so I'd say you've got it. (Unless it's too damn hot again.)

Mmmmm...beer
Almost forgot about this one, just signed up. This was my very first race back in 2012, and I won my AG there last year. Great race, CC course, and a great cause.

Goals | sub-18 5k | sub-3 marathon 2:56:46!!
21 June - Grandma's Garry Bjorklund 1/2 marathon - no time goal. I'm going to run hard and see how I'm feeling two months post-Boston.
I think I am in 1:32-ish shape, providing I am recovered and the weather cooperates.
06/14- Oakley New York Mini 10K
Wouldn't mind going under 49:00 but depends on weather.
race obsessed
Sounds like a plan.
Question regarding your Marathon goal: I re-read and say that you were aiming for 3:20 - 3:25. Did you think that was a soft goal or at the edge of your fitness?
Edit:
I plugged in your goal marathon times in my prediction calculator and it spit back 1:35:56 & 1:38:19.
Granted I did not change any of the other pertinent data (height, weight , age) So that may affect VO max (I don't recall if it is a linear progression or age curve etc.
*shrug* Just some numbers I thought may help?

Edit (will add after you answer)
I think that was a fair goal. I believe I could have run sub 3:20 if everything was absolutely perfect, which obviously it was not. I am pretty honest with myself about where I am, and I figured I'd run around a 3:26. For my prior marathon, I thought I would run a 3:45 and I ran a 3:45.
I can't wait to see the results! Sounds exciting for everyone! Good luck guys!
I may have a 10k next Saturday, if I'm up to it. I haven't registered yet, and I don't even remember what it's called. It's a local race. We don't have many races around here, so it would be a good opportunity to meet some of the runners in the area.
PRs: Boston Marathon, 3:27, April 15th 2013
Cornwall Half-Marathon, 1:35, April 27th 2013
18 marathons, 18 BQs since 2010
Be forewarned, after this people will be pressuring you to do a 5k.
Oh yes... just think of the pain it starts early but it ends quickly!
lily ain't running no damn 5k so we wouldn't even bother suggesting it. lol
If she did it would be at marathon pace. lol
