Comments:

This was my first marathon, but I had in my head that I could qualify for Boston (3:15). I started off near the pace I needed (7:27), but it was too much.
What would you do differently?:

Started more around the 8:00 pace I think I could have held it and probably improved on my time. I was not trained enough to qualify for Boston, but I think I could have gotten a time in the low 3:20's with a little better plan.

Warm down:

stretching and trying the keep my legs up to lessen the calf cramps.
