 Run
Comments: For my 1st road Mary, this was an excellent run for me. Not as fast as i was hoping for, but right on plan. :) Split times: M1 and M2- 17:26min, 8:42pace M3- 9:18min M4- 7:55min M5 and M6- 16:32min, 8:15pace M7- 8:35min M8 and M9- 17:03min, 8:32pace M10- 8:40min M11- 8:47min M12- 9:06min M13- 8:51min M14- 8:51min m15- 9:20min M16- 8:33min M17- 8:33min M18- 10:00min M19- 8:56min M20- 8:42min M21- 8:50min M22- 9:33min M23- 9:09min M24- 8:45min M25- 8:51min M26.2- 11:06min, 9:15pace This was my calculated ATT plan below: 10.0 minute warm-up at a 9.0 min/mile pace. 6.0 min run intervals with a 1.0 min. recovery interval. Number of Intervals: 33 8.17 is/was my planned running pace. 8.7 minutes/mile was my real average pace. 7.29 minutes cushion for my goal time of 3.9hrs. Total run time in mins: 228.25, or 3.8 hrs. 28.25 minutes too slow to qualify for Boston(need <3.33hrs). Need to cut a little over a minute per mile still, probably need to run right at a 7min pace(still planning walking breaks). Actual ATT results: 30 walk intervals @ 1min each. 30 x .07 walk distance is 2.1miles in 30minutes. 3:48:15 less 30minutes is 3:18:15 run time @ 24.1miles, so avg run pace was 8:14min/mile. So, I didn't follow plan to the letter, but still managed to stay really really close to it. AT&T Marathon standings: OA- 1071 out of 5134, 21% Men- 883 out of 3093, 29% AG- 153 out of 476, 32% What would you do differently?: Need more 20mile long runs.  Post race
Warm down: Stumbled around in a daze mostly. Didn't think i'd made my 3:50goal. Laid down to stretch my back. Tried to stretch out a little. Walked to meet family at City Hall, too long of a walk. I had more trouble walking than running the mary. What limited your ability to perform faster: Need more 20mile long runs, and hill training. Felt weak on the hills. Just reasons. I really think i was right on target with my training and my pacing for this race. Event comments: A good race for me. Last updated: 2007-10-17 12:00 AM

Ate a cup of oatmeal and had a cup of coffee. Got the whole family in the car at 5:45am. Only took 15minutes to get down to the race, got dropped off. She went to find parking.
Spent the majority of the time standing in restroom line. Had about 5minutes to try to get up to the 3:50 pace group.
