NJ Marathon

Notes

Whew ,this marathon stuff is tougher than I thought. Hung with the 4:15 till about 12miles and was having hip trouble

and was not up to the pace. Seriously considered bagging it after one lap , but Mamma didn't raise no quitter Did a squat when it felt bad, and that seemed to realign everything..Actually felt less pressure on the 2nd lap. Walked through the fluid stops. Went through 7-8 powergel gu's.One piss break at the half but more to talk myself into continuing. Didn't piss (pretty dark) until about 2 hrs after the race. Sipping Gate and water every 2 miles. Had salt pouring out of me and flowing like milk over my knee caps. Suffered in the middle but felt pretty darn good over the last 10k. I think my last mile was the fastest. Number two is in the bag!
