6am-67°F 9am-71°F 12pm-79°F Ok, the forecast isn't tooooo bad. Compared to what you've dealt with all summer, this should be no problem for you Pam. Drink early, drink often! Are you excited yet? Wink

Yes so far the forecast doesn't look too bad *knock on wood* I've been excited ALL week lol. Not sure how I'm going to get through today. Not sure why I'm as excited as I am since I'm not even racing. Must be due to not running 2 days in a row Wink

That or I'm just really excited to see how all my training this past year or so comes through for me tomorrow. Thanks Bob!!

Thanks Alan, Mike and Bob! Other than a little tired and stiff, feeling great! Got in a nice run a little longer than a 5k. Felt great! I'm a little ticked off at motionbased cause it won't let me view my run. I wanted to see how I did on the hilly portions of the run. Oh well such is life. I'm looking to do a little longer run this evening when it cools down a bit. Just gotta add, it is SOOOOOOOO nice to see my hardwork paying off!! This marathon experience was COMPLETELY different than my first one!

Awesome race pam. First in age group is super awesome . So what did you do differently from your first one...more mileage ? I'm hoping my second one will be a lot better than my first one as well. And what's next ?

ALOT more milage. With my first one I had just started running and decided to run a marathon. I did Hal's novice program which is BARELY enough to be able to finish. So running a marathon 6 months after starting to run ISN"T exactly a great idea. This time I had a real good base & solid base, with LOTS of high (for me) milage weeks. What's next is Steamtown Marathon October 7th. That is my "A" marathon. MTA: My first marathon time was 4:40:14

Nice 4.8 mile run this evening. Legs felt stiff and a bit sore for first mile or so, but once warmed up they felt great. Not sure if I'm feeling this good due to my training or maybe I'm going to be paying for it tomorrow. Since I'm going day by day run by run we shall see. http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/3918230
