    Looks like @MNLittleFinn slowed down almost to an 11 minute pace between the halfway point and the 20 mile mark. Hope he can hang on and finish. The projected times look like they're based on the 9:46 average through 20, so I expect he will be slower than the current projected finish of 4:15:44.

    Yeah, I agree, but I do not know the terrain of the course. If there were some bad hills in there, and they are all behind him, he might be able to make up the time. I will miss his finish as I have some life stuff to handle now, but he can be proud of his accomplishment no matter what. A marathon is NOT an easy race.

    I wonder if the heat and humidity is kicking in up there like it is here? Hope he finds that strength and can survive to the finish!

    IMO, weather is a bigger factor than terrain. The course is along the shore of Lake Superior, so it *could* be pretty flat; I don't know what that shoreline is like and how hilly it is near the lake.

    He may not be happy with his time but he should be happy he finished. It is his first so it's a learning moment. There will be things he did right and things he did wrong and the only way to know is to run the race.

    The most important thing in your first full is to finish. He can go that last mile. I suspect he is hurting, but is clearly able to continue.

    I'm so proud of him!!!

    June 17 – 3.0 miles Easy Run

    Total: 64.25 miles/100 miles

    Tomorrow will most like be an unscheduled rest day. It's Father's Day. The restaurant will be ridiculously busy, and I will most likely have to work a double. It's a bit much to add in a run as well.

    Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there!

    Upcoming Race:
    June 23 – St. Pete Beach Series, Race #1, 5K

    4:24 finish. Quad and calf cramps murdered my second half. Still ok with my time though, I got the 26.2

    Edit to add, the weather kicked my *kitten*. It was only 73f, but there was a lot of sun and humidity was close to 60%. My runs have been a lot cooler.

    Oddly, I feel great with my finish. Sure, I was 24 minutes slower than my hoped for, but I was less than double my first HM time, from less than a year ago.

    YAY!!! YOU DID IT!! Welcome to the PRESTIGIOUS MARATHON CLUB!

    You kicked hard at the end. Impressive!

    @PastorVincent - Did Pittsburgh the past 4 years (dropped out at 16 this year as I was sick & had my A-race 4 weeks later - but wanted to finish the hills), and it usually just registered 800-900ft of elevation on my watch. The hill at 11 (post Birmingham bridge) up to Oakland isn't too fun.

    This year was MUCH flatter with the new route, I do not know if they plan to keep it or not, but the hill just after the 1/2 turn off is brutal. I do not know how the hill runners do it every year.

    @PastorVincent - "I remember after my first full I was walking down the street heading to bag check to get my bag and there was curb in front of me. I could not quite get my leg up onto it. Ran flippen 26 miles, but a curb bested me in the end LOL"


    HaHa - I ran my first full at the end of April. My husband had parked about a mile away from the finish and every time I went to step up on another curb, my calf would cramp. Then taking off my sports bra triggered a really strange cramp that caused my ribs to stick straight out - kinda freaky, really. Had to push them back down with my hand because I couldn't figure out how to stretch it out. Felt fine after a shower and an hour with my feet up, though.

    @MNLittleFinn - CONGRATULATIONS - you are a MARATHON RUNNER! I don't think I could have run that many miles in that heat. Strong work!
