To Qualify for the Boston Marathon (A big goal right now but I believe I have it in me :)
Personal:
Married with a 2 kids, a 6 year old beautiful little girls and an amazing fun 4 year old little boy. I am also a High School SPED teacher and a Wrestling coach.
Had car troubles today so only could run from the mechanics to home. Leaving for CA tomorrow so hopefully can get some miles in. Aparently the hotel I am staying in has a running Concierge.

New NB shoes, they are supposed to be very minimalistic and they are. My legs were burning after this run but the shoes felt good.

I've been wondering about the NB 100's, so I'll be interested to see how they work for you...

Nevels, so far I am really liking them, much more supportive then 5 fingers and the still deliver that minimal feeling. Plus they look more "normal" then 5 fingers :)

Oh no! Are the blisters from the new shoes or just from the running? Runs are looking good though!

Not sure, they have since gone away and things are going well. I finally feel like I am really getting back into the swing of things which is nice.

longest run before marathon in 2 weeks. Felt really good and ran entire thing at my mile pace which unfortunately this time is around 9 minutes. My training has been if-y these last 2 weeks due to being sick and digging up a sewer pipe in front of my house so this was a nice confidence booster.

Race:
Pittsburgh Marathon (26.2 Miles) 03:48:08, Place overall: 765, Place in age division: 109
Total Distance
26.20
Had a great race today, my goal was 4 hours since I was unable to really train as much for this race. When I got to the race I wasn't able to get back far enough to start with the 4 hour pace group so I started some where between them and the 3:50 folk. Before I knew it I was with the 3:50 people and had enough in the tank the last few miles to make up even more ground. The race in general was fun, light rain the entire time, great bands and groups of fans along the way. Really, really fun. I wasn't super concerned about time also which made the race extra enjoyable for me too. Anyway, here are my splits:

Great job! Your time and 765 overall is great considering I heard there were about 5,000 runners doing the full marathon. It's got to feel great to start out with a faster group, stick with them, then be able to better that at the end! I heard about the bomb scare before the race...did that affect you at all? I didn't hear about it until after the race when I was doing some reading about the race and how my friends had done.
Congratulations on a fun race and nice even splits!

Great job! One of these days I need to break 4.
From Jon on Mon, May 03, 2010 at 22:37:36 from 75.169.144.164
Hey, nice job beating your goal time. Sometimes just relaxing and not running by time is the way to go.
From Brice on Tue, May 04, 2010 at 16:54:44 from 98.111.202.89
Thanks everyone, still feeling it today but definitely worth it :)
