Notes

2006 Philly Marathon:

I'm writing this report in 2008 since I never logged this run. It's a little fuzzy- but I'll never forget the way I felt by the end of this race. It was as bad, if not worse, than last year's marathon. I came in just off my qualifying time- which I think is 3:42- so I was a little frustrated. Once again, I was not fully prepared to run a marathon, especially not at the pace I tried to go out at. Felt strong for about 15 miles, then it all started to go downhill. It was a satisfying run because I bettered my time from last year, but still not my ideal marathon. I think missing my last long run and having the achilles issue didn't help the matter.
