Felt really good during this run. Was able to run at a decent pace and felt very comfortable. Knee soreness is gone and everything seems to have recovered well. The only bad thing was that every time that I started to get in a good groove I would get interrupted by a car, a traffic light or something else.

I've been thinking about my plans for 2008 and am considering the San Diego Rock and Roll marathon.  Has anybody run this or any of the other RNR marathons? 

Total Time: 59:08 (7:23/mile)

Andy,

I ran RNR in 2004, prior to them changing the course. It's a fun marathon, but deceptive in that its a more difficult than the course map might indicate. The reason I say that is because you have a pretty good downhill that comes early in the course, but then is pretty flat for the rest of the race with a few uphill blips here and there. It was my first marathon so I made the mistake of pushing on the downhill and then falling apart around 20 miles. There are a lot of people and you can't beat San Diego. Competition-wise, if I remember correctly it was the elites, pretty thin between 2:35-2:45 (at least compared to some marathons), then there were quite a few finishers after that point. If you're looking to improve on your SGM time, you'd definitely have some company to run with!
