 Run
Comments: Had an amazing first half. Ran way too fast but thought I could keep it up. Learned too late that I couldn't! This is my 6th marathon but my first in 11 years. I was both a rookie and a veteran. Veteran for mental preparation; rookie for going out too fast. Finished with a kick, nevertheless! What would you do differently?: Run with the 4:30 pace group even if the initial pace seemed slow.  Post race
Warm down: Found family and headed back to hotel. Tried to have an ice bath. Had big burger and a beer! What limited your ability to perform faster: Going out too fast on the first half! Event comments: Great oncourse entertainment - lots of it. The Taiko drummers were amazing, and responsible for my fast pace over a short distance (early on!)

woke up in hotel room; had breakfast and made sure everything was packed. Made my way to the start line. Georgian Court hotel is nice and close to the race start/finish. Highly recommend it!
Made sure to stretch well as I'd been getting stiff (from lack of training?) all week!
