It is 4 days after the Marine Corps Marathon my second marathon. I ran a PR of 3:28:45, not bad. About half way I thought I may have a shot a BQing but a few more miles and I came back to reality. All of my soreness is gone now and today is my final day off. I start running again in the morning.
The marathon experience was great again. We all had a good time during the couple of days in DC. Race morning was unique for sure. I meet up with a Joe Bullis a friend from my home town. We talked before the start and actually started the race together. This was his first marathon and his goal was 5 hours (which he achieved) and my pace was a little faster so he let me go after the first two steps.
I had a very good run. My training was right on pace and I relieve what I need to do for my next marathon; more long runs at a faster pace. I think I may need to do some 5k races to work on speed as well.
Overall great weekend. Looking to do longer distance races/runs next year. Not planning on running the MCM next year the race is on Halloween. Need to be at home for Elizabeth that weekend.
