Did you quit? Did you walk away after 10 miles knowing you wouldn't PR?<br /><br />That answer is no so you were obviously good enough. Good enough to tackle 26.2 miles and do it in a time most people only dream of.<br /><br />You were not only good enough, but you were great.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08914217156791555569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-37459223232568461822011-09-12T07:56:48.834-05:002011-09-12T07:56:48.834-05:00Such a drag but still a great time...

Failing to adjust one's goal pace to accommodate the marathon's conditions (temperature, humidity, topography) is a common mistake which we've all made (myself on several occasions). Roll with the punch, and better weather luck next time.Mark U.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04792726660751354015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-64761023101440027662011-09-11T11:48:34.755-05:002011-09-11T11:48:34.755-05:00You finished right?
