Notes
Well this was a bit of a dissapointment in terms of my time, but everything else about it was great. I'm glad I got to run 18 miles of it with Andy. And I'm happy he was able to get a PR.
I really think the biggest factor here was my weight, and then maybe also my training not quite where I wanted it to be. I am ok with this. Given the training, I gave it my best, and even though I knew in the back of my head I was unlikely to get a PR, I thought it was worth a shot. I guess I was farther from it than I thought.
Those last 6 miles were really rough. One of my worst fades. But again, this was due to me going to hard in the beginning thinking I had a chance. As always I have lots of respect for the marathon distance.
