    Well, my current PR is 4:04 so my main goal is under 4 hours but I'm probably going to aim for somewhere in the 3:45-3:50 range. I don't know for sure how fast to push, I'm in MUCH better shape than I was 1-1.5 years ago. My old (1.5 years ago) 1/2 marathon PR was 1:59 and about 6-7 weeks ago (the end of April) I ran a 1:43 half and felt fantastic the whole time. In fact when I was done with the 1/2 I grabbed a drink of water, then turned around and walked about a mile back out on the course until I found my mom who was also running the 1/2 and turned around and ran the last mile back in with her. :)

    I want to run a smart marathon and not burn out at the end but I also want to push myself to do the best I can. Marathon pacing is hard, I think! Start too fast and pay dearly later....been there and it's not pretty. But I don't want to go too slow and run under my potential either.

    I just did a 1:42:27 half and did my marathon in 3:36:33.....so you might be a bit faster than you thinking. Of course, keeping it conservative is a good idea the first half. I went through 10 miles at 1:25 and the half at 1:50 and change.

    Feel free to pm me your outfit etc and I'll be sure to look out for ya and cheer ya on. I am thinking about being at the base of Lemon drop and running with peeps for a mile or so and then coming back for the next person.

    Wow, you ran a great marathon! I will probably start out with the 3:45 pace group and see how that feels. Actually I'm not much for running with a pace group but I like to see if I can keep them in my sights.

    I have my race number on my postcard and weather will somewhat dictate my clothing choices, but assuming good conditions probably a gray tank top, black shorts and black under armour cap. :) I'll message you when it gets closer....would be cool to meet a fellow MFPer in real life! Plus my hubby & kids aren't coming to the race, so I won't have any fans to cheer me on.

    Sounds like a plan. I'll let you know my final info as well. I will more than likely be wearing my team singlet which is very distinctive. I'll send you a pic.

    62 miles. Marathon training starts this month, so my mileage will be higher. I'm also participating in the Runner's World Run Streak, so that will add on a mile a day.

    113 miles for me; it's the most I've ever run in a month.
    I'm running my first full marathon a week from today, so in my taper week and enjoying the eating. :)
    My goal is to complete in under 4:00, but we'll see. My PR for a 1/2 is 1:50 right now.

    85 Miles, gradually increasing as have a Marathon in October. Had a 10 mile and a 10k race in May otherwise would have been nearer 100

    Got a Trail Half Marathon later this month in Snowdonia which will be good practice.
