RIP Milkman
Thanks everyone. I had another doctor (friend of a friend) just look at the x ray and talk about it with me, and he’s also concerned it’s a fracture. I’m still not convinced just because it doesn’t seem to add up, but let’s just say I’m taking things very conservatively tomorrow. It’s not worth fully fracturing my foot and jeopardizing months (or worse) of future training. It’s adding a very different level of anxiety about the race.

Well, if it is a fracture, you’ll know about it soon enough during the race and can pull the pin I guess. I’m certainly hoping that’s not the case!

"CONSISTENCY IS KING"
Fly - good luck.
JMac - good luck too. It seems a little strange you'd get a stress fracture now?

And Shalane Flanagan is flying!
JMac - 25k - 1:44:06. (2:55:40 Est). Fly - 1:46:26. (2:59:38 Est)
And Shalane wins in 2:26:55. Great stuff!

JMac - 35k - 2:25:33. (2:55:30 Est). Fly - 2:29:00. (2:59:38 Est)
Great finish by the men and women.
Rooting for JMac and Fly. Good sign that Fly picked up a few seconds at 30K. It felt pretty humid for my run in Philly today, but hopefully if its raining there it's not too bad.
5k- 18:55 (2018) 10K- 39:04 (2017) Marathon- 3:00:10 (2018)
What shalane just did there is flat absurd. Splits it 1:16, 1:10 with a 15:57 last 5k and in the process broke the best marathoner in the world. And drops the F bomb on national TV.

Nail biter!!
Cental Park is where you run your heart out! Go!!
JMac is officially smashing it out there!!! 40k - 2:45:38. (2:54:44 Est)
Fly is looking great! 40k - 2:50:02. (2:59:21 Est)
JMac finishes in 2:54:02 and about an 18min PR. Huge congrats!!!
And Fly has finished in 2:58:46 for a PR!
Amazing running from you both on a difficult course! (We need some dancing pink elephant emoticons on here)
JMac - awesome.
Fly - great run too.
Well done JMac and Fly!!
Amazing finish JMac and testament to the training you’ve put in. Looks like Fly paced his race really consistently too and had enough in the tank for a fast last couple of miles.
Looking forward to the RR!
Great job JMac and Fly on superb races and PRs!
Can't wait to watch the race (recorded it) and see Shalane tear it up! So happy she got the win.
