Good luck Meggie! When do you start training for Chicago?
I'm going to chime in here since I'm aiming for sub-3:30 in the Chicago Marathon in October. Ideally I'd like to see 3:20 or faster, but my current PR is 3:39, so I'll be happy if I can shave 10 minutes off of that.

not bad for mile 25
Yesterday I did a dress rehearsal.
Does that entail putting on shorts and a singlet?
David!
Good luck!
No. :-) Just speed. The name is taken from the Pfitz's plan.
David! David! David! Good luck!
Thanks. Tomorrow I will think of you all when I need more energy.
My time is 3:09:28. I am so happy.
Awesome! That's a fantastic time. I'm guessing you ran a smart race. And, congrats on getting a BQ on your first marathon!
Great job, David! congratulations on hammering it.
So, we'll see you in Boston, then? (way ahead of me, though)
Wow! You crushed it! Well done.
See you in Boston then?
Thank you all. I did think of this group's support when I really needed the energy to finish it. I was imagining you all cheering for me. That gave me some extra energy to push myself a bit.
Good luck for those in the coming races.
3:16:18. Looks like I 'm going to Boston!
Why is it sideways?
Awesome! Heard you yell on our way back. Excellent running, sir!
