I've got an insane next day, so this'll be short. At 3 tomorrow afternoon, though...I'm on my way home to sunny Louisiana for a week. I'm ecstatic for the break...it's the time of year when you're just completely ready to wind things up, you know?
But! The race was awesome; I finished in 4:18:35. I was/am really happy with that. It is a PR by 10 minutes, and I broke the 10min/m barrier (my pace was 9:52). I knew breaking 4 hours was wishful thinking this time around--I did zero speedwork and on top of that, really shortchanged a lot of runs. It's actually encouraging though, because now I know that if I do put in the work, I can definitely meet some faster goals sometime soon.
Thanks to everyone for the birthday and marathon wishes. I had a nice weekend in Philadelphia, so they all worked!
Oh, and my computer is FINALLY ready at Best Buy, but I don't have time to pick it up before I leave. Grrr...it'll sit there for a week and be waiting (impatiently) for me next Monday evening...
More about the race/birthday once I get home!

Awesome time, way to go. Have fun in Louisiana.
Congrats on the PR!! Have a nice break and a Happy Thanksgiving!
You and I need to pick one out here and break 4...whaddya say?
I'm thinking Marine Corps. Marines are hot. Yeah...they can hand me water...woo hoo!!!
Have fun at home!
Awesome job. Enjoy the R&R at home.
Great job! See, some major rest (even in the form of missed runs) can do wonders. Sometimes, we get so caught up in training that we forget to recover.
And now, you can see just how realistic it is to break four hours. You have far less to reach that goal than I had, so you should be able to get well under four with some training to that end.
Look at you! You can totally go sub-4. It will happen before your next birthday. TAKE IT!!
congrats! wish we coulda met up with you - we met shore turtle. maybe next time. congrats on the PR! Rest up - I am sure you are feeling it.
