    When I ran Boston it measured 26.42. It's like no one can put up an accurate course. 

     

    7 miles for me today

     

    Detroit 2014 measured at 26.44 for me. That's like 2 minutes I lost geezus.

      My 2015 New Jersey Marathon measured 26.5 and the extra distance cost me a BQ by a minute, which is fine because I would have missed the cutoff so it saved me five months of stress that would have ended in disappointment.

        At least you got a measurement! I lost signal in the tunnel (as well as when we ran on the freaking freeway and went under the overpass), and the watch I had at the time couldn't cope.

         

        MTA: it was for the best, that thing was a suckfest.

        No more marathons

          As a PhatOldMan I've run 4 marathons.

          Boston measured the longest at 26.5, and Quebec and Asheville measured 26.4.

          On the other hand,  my BQ in Greenville, SC came in 26.1 - but FTS, it counted.

          Lordy,  I hope there are tapes. 

          He's a leaker!

            Other than the two where I have no split data, mine have ranged from 26.32 to 26.39. Except the one that was 26.15 (Tacoma). 

            For the purpose of goal pace calculation, I generally assume races will end up ~13.2/26.4.

                Woo hoo! I want to see every one of the movies in the previews too.

                Oh, and don't forget to stay through the credits.

                  I just left, saw it in Imax 3D this time and stayed for the scenes after the credits. I should've left after the movie was over like I did the first time. lol

                    Thor looks good. I don't like how they do Spiderman but having Ironman/Tony Stark in it makes it a must see for me. Transformers also looked good, this despite me walking out on Transformers 3 a million years ago and not seeing another since.

                      You might have to see Transformers 4 to understand this one. Not the ones before; just that one.

                        OK that was one I have no interest in. Never seen one, not gonna start now.

                         

                        I thought The Mummy looked especially cool. Although sort of looked like the female version of X-Men Apocalypse, ha.

                              Marvel is unfamiliar with that concept.

                                Well of course Wonder Woman is DC, and they don't have quite the track record.
