Comments:

Started with a good pace, faster than expected, and was able to hold the pace until the last couple of miles.
What would you do differently?:

Focus on maintaining the pace through the end. Mentally, I lost focus and was dropped from a group that I ran with most of the race.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and had a cinnamon roll and chocolate milk

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Focus more training on the distance. The original plan was to run the marathon, but unable to get the long runs in to properly prepare. Only focused on a faster pace the last 2 weeks before the race.

My question is am I playing with fire entering the half marathon this close to my primary goal for this season which is the HIM?

I just ran the Boston Marathon under nine minute miles, can I run eight minute miles for my half Ironman training runs? Or should I go slower?

I just started doing tris this summer and I have two under my belt, both sprints. Is it reasonable to build up for a Oly in early ‘09, with a HIM in Oct of ‘09

Steady is our walk. Ignoring the pain that is radiating from my feet, I continue to place one foot in front of the other. Again I wonder, “Why am I doing this?”

Having three seasons under my belt I thought I knew what I was doing. That all changed with a few new challenges and a bunch of new friends.

This program should be used for an athlete whose goal is to run a marathon in the 1:30-2:30 range and has a good running base in the past 8-12 weeks.

I will assume you have not run consistently more than 6 miles and have never completed a half-marathon. I believe running your first half-marathon is a big task which requires dedication and work.

My training was taking off. I had never felt stronger. I was making bigger strides than I ever had. I was stronger and faster than I had imagined myself ever being.
