Marathon Day things didn't go as planned. I cramped up the last few miles and was barely able to run through the finish. Couldn't have asked for better conditions.
I still finished 3:22:25 so it was respectable just not where I wanted to be. The calves started to cramp up at mile 19-20, but I was still able to keep the pace. With just under 2 miles to go my quads and groin cramped up really bad, and my quads felt like they were going to give way. My 25th mile was at 8:59 pace, and then my 26th was at 10:41. It was all I could do to run to the finish. I lost my goal in the last 2-3 miles, but it was still a good run.
I'll get there soon enough. Even if I have to wait until I'm 40. No just kidding the goal is still 3:15.
