It was a great race. I ran my own race and wasn't influenced by others. I did good sticking with what had been working for me. I did get some cramps at mile 14 or 15 (up hill muscle group) so I took it easy until I started running down hill. Then my down hill muscle group cramped and so I had to nurse the last 9 miles back to the finish line. I beat my last marathon by 50 minutes so I had no complaints.

Nothing. My amount of time I could commit to training was as much as I could do and I did good taking advantage of that time. If I lived closer to hills I would have ran more hills but I just didn't have the time. This wasn't my life mission so I didn't plan on getting a spectacular time. I enjoyed the race, the hard and easy parts and was glad that my record for completing my marathons was 2 for 2

Loved the race, if all my buddies had been there that would have been perfect (Scott's baby was in the hospital and couldn't make it). Weather, hills, temp, everything was perfect. I liked the medal too.
