Nice job. You had a solid three month block leading in and your result is a nice reward for all that work.

great race (and report!). outstanding finish!
Congratulations B-Plus. Very nice finish.
Ran my 3rd marathon this year. This time it was Chicago. Very hard day for me, still PR-ed, but first time in 7 marathons didn't have that joyful feeling at the end. In any case, it is a PR - unofficial time is 2:53:58, definitely some satisfaction out of that fact.

paces PRs - 5K - 5:48 / 10K - 6:05 / HM - 6:14 / FM - 6:26 per mile
Congrats Cal. I'm going to check that out.
Thanks X, lag, and ken. I'm still super excited!!

Didn't make it this year: 3:04.01.
Where do I sign up for next year's thread? I need to plan a race before Lagwagon beats me to the line with a sub-3.
2021 Goals: 50mpw 'cause there's nothing else to do

Look like you were pretty darn close to your 3:03:30 goal -- nice racing!!!

almost made it: 3:01:29. I was right on target, 3 strides behind the 3:00 pace group leader until we hit the hill on fifth ave. the hill completely kicked my ass. still, very happy in a tough race.
2014 will be the year, for sure.
I am up this weekend at California International and am going to revise my goal to 2:45.
My training has been going well and I started working with a coach in September. My first sub-3 was in June and I currently have the slowest sub-3 of the year, so hopefully I can move up the ranks a little bit.

Year's not over tho...
Yes it is. I tried a couple times and had to settle for consolation prizes. Less than 7 weeks till my first attempt of the new year. I'll just keep banging my head against that wall until I break through it.

a serious improvement from June, but just short of my goal.
Very nice!
