The marathon had quite a bit more up and down running then I anticipated.........I think I knew 3:15 was out the door by 15 miles......my right Achilles and the right heel started hurting pretty good by that point also........I am pleased nonetheless......felt rather humid out there.....we got a late start.....it was supposed to start at 7:25am........this was all I had on Sunday and I will take it since I had to fight the urge several times to walk between 20 and 23 miles.....knowing the final 3 miles were DH kept me from doing that........this is one of those days that you have to take what the course gives you.....14th BQ.

I called an audible at the line of scrimmage and decided at 19 miles to go ahead and do 26.2......a lot of hilly miles......you can tell where those are.

The first solo 26.2 since November of 2007......felt good.......would have been a BQ for Boston 2011.
