I didn't know how I was going to run the race.  I just went out easy and ended up feeling really good, so I picked up the pace.  The course was 2 loops, and the weather was perfect for a marathon.  27 deg @ start and 44 at finish.  I layered with throw away clothing and removed clothing as I went along.  Ended up at mile 21 in tights, a dry fit t-shirt , thin gloves, and a head band that covered my ears.  The first loop I took easy.  I felt so good the second loop that I though I might just pick up the pace.  I started passing a bunch of runners.  By mile 20 I was pretty sure I could qualify for Boston again and I kept on track to do so.  Since my training wasn't quite what it was last year and the only time difference is 45 sec slower, I'm pretty sure I will be hurting for days.  Good race though, I am very happy with my time.

Outstanding race for one you just "decided" to do!!

You are right on track for your goals! Regarding 1/2 marathons .... there is one in March in Nashville which is really fast (not downhill, but flat and competitive), Tom King. I highly recommend it (and I think I will be running it too - and I am in the 1:35-1:36 range).
