  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: I'm not sure I will do another marathon. I did this one just to say I did it. Right now I can't imagine doing it again. I didn't really enjoy the time I put into training just the run. I don't like running that far. It was very hard on my body. (Goodbye Mr Toe Nail, I miss you so!) The only way I could ever imagine putting my body thru that again is if I decide one day that 5:13 just isn't good enough. But that day isn't anytime soon.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: I like the beginning and end of this race a lot. Doug suggested that a 2 loop course on the 1/2 course might be better and I think he has a point. It is cool to go out to Decatur, but not as cool as the Sweet Auburn and GA Tech to me. I may come back to see if I can break 4 hrs here. I think I could. Overall, this is a nice and challenging race. The hills beat you down and it is a game to see if you can hold pace on the hills but save enough for the climb up from Piedmont Park to the finish.
