Just finished my second Marathon this year, the CIM in Sac. And I only made half the mistakes I made in October. No bathroom breaks, but I still went out too fast. But this time I got as far as mile 23 before shutting down. Overall, I was very happy though. I still finished at 4:03:22, which is 7 minutes faster than two months ago. And the pain wasn't so bad at the end that I was able to start celebrating the same day.
But I still missed that 4 hour mark, and I totally could've made it this time if it wasn't for PR'n the first half. So now I'm thinking - you know that half marathon in Phoenix next month......
I don't know why I'm taking this abuse, I am NOT an LD runner. The difference between my mile, half, and marathon pace doesn't fit in any pace calculator's formula. But I can't wait for the day I can run all 26.2 miles without breaking down at mile 20, or mile 23. Cuz that will be the day I hit sub 4 hour.
