Comments:

I am tired.

Gotta be pleased with reaching my goal of sub 3:30. I'm a little disappointed that I missed qualifying for Boston 2012 by 3 min 48 seconds. I was well on pace (heck, I ran the first half in 1:33:46), then my knee acted up and I had to take a port-a-pot break as well. Ended up limping/walking significant parts of the last 10k.

After I tried my first marathon in 2006, I said "never again". It took my over three years to consider trying again. When knee pain hit today at mile 7, and I was walking at mile 22, I said "never again". Is it a sign of insanity that I'm already considering trying again?
