Comments: First time running further than 10 mile. Felt really good for the first 8 miles and then my left knee (IT band) started acting up. After another mile I didn't notice the knee because the pain from the blister on my right foot took over! Saw my wife and daughter at the 10 mile mark and that gave me a boost. The last 2.1 miles is up an incline which really made it tough. I beat my goal time of 2:30:00. What would you do differently?: More long runs in my training. I know stretching is so important, I just never have had the patience. Stretch - stretch - stretch! Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Knee pain and blister. Event comments: Looking forward to a full marathon next year! Last updated: 2008-08-25 12:00 AM

First race of this distance so no routine. Woke up at 5:00 ate fruit and english muffin with peanut butter and coffee. Not knowing what to expect, got there very early! Walked around and took in the scenes.
Again, not much. Stretched and ran a little.
