Just over 4 hours is an awesome time for your first marathon (and much faster than in any of my three attempts). Great job! How's the recovery going?0

Congratulations! Sounds like you took on board all the great advice you got & had the race of your life! What a brilliant time to get at your first marathon & what an inspiration you are. Feeling so happy for you! Now look after yourself as you recover0

You sure as hell did run the perfect one. Isn't picking people off at the end fun? You're like a running sniper!0

Awesome, awesome, awesome! You came, you saw, you kicked some serious Texas booty! Excellent race plan, executed to a tee. Wow!
Of course you realize next time you have to go faster0 -
What an amazing effort! The first one is always a doozy for many of us. Once you start passing people late in a marathon and building momentum and confidence, it's difficult to stop-adrenaline & endorphins take over at that point. Those end up being your PR races. There's something about running marathons in Texas that results in PRs! Proud of you! You are a marathoner and no one can take that away from you! glasses:0

Fantastic! It just goes to show that, when you have a training plan that you follow and a race plan that you execute, you will finish strong and have the desire to do another. I'm damn proud of you.0
