Woot, thanks for all the threads, advice, information, etc.  I finished in 3:48:45, much better than I had expected.  Mile 24-26.2... yups that is how I now define mental toughness.  Man that last 2 miles was total suck it up and keep moving to get to that finsh line and dig really deep to bring up the pace for that last .2 miles at the end of the race.  (Redding Marathon).

Nice! Great job!  If you hated the last two miles and are now thinking 'this is for me' then it's for you!

Wow, that is a really fantastic time! In my dreams could I ever do a 3:48--and on your first marathon ever, too! You should be proud of yourself--that is amazing! Congratulations.

Thanks so much for taking the time to post and for all the encouragment!

   I had originally planned to finish around 4:15:00 based on my practice runs so ya 3:48 was quite a suprise. 

This only increases my respect for you guys who have finished full IM's.  My next goal......
