A good race overall. My first race since knee surgery in August, and unfortunately I still feel some nagging soreness in that area in my left knee. I am not quite in the shape I want to be in and it tells - I didn't have that "next gear" that I had last year that allowed me to steadily lower my pace over the last four miles. However, I was encourage by my decent time and that with good training and losing some weight I should be ready for a go at a good marathon time later this year.

Train better and more! Lose weight! Do more to stregthen my weak knee. Improve my form.
