    Boston Marathon! It was a battle...mentally and physically. But I got a 3:05 and a almost 7 minute PR!

    Spokane River Run 50k trail run. 4:49 is a new best for me on this course. Losing 20 lbs helped a ton.

    You're a testament to proper training overcoming a tough course and crappy weather.

    I keep saying "it was a battle out there" but it really was. It was a unique experience for me. I slowed by choice but never hit a wall, a very weird feeling! I can't quite explain it. Part of me feels like I shouldn't be so pleased with the result, but that part is overridden by the part that sees how amazing the whole thing was...and to run away with 7 min pr...ahhhhhh! Amazing :)

    Congrats to you as well on that awesome performance!!!

    Just got back from the New Jersey half marathon today where I got a PR! :D 1:53:07, according to my chip time, which is a 5 min 21 second PR from my last 13.1 in November. Really great race; recently taken over by Lifetime and so the organization/communication was much better this year than previously (so I heard). SUPER flat course, so much so that it's basically a straight line on my Garmin data. A ton of people there were talking about BQs this morning :)

    Only complaint was that the course was about .1 long, and from talking to other people basically everyone had 13.3-13.5 on their watch at the end. Which considering my goal was 1:52, and I went an extra .1 and got a hair over 1:53... harumph. Won't let it get me down! But otherwise, great race, highly recommend!

    Thanks guys! You're awesome too, T2BF - never say no to a PR! Alikonda - definitely do London if you get the chance; it's such a great race and really does live up to the hype.
