Well not what I was hoping for. A lot harder on me than I thought. This week sucked but I still went. Got called from work on Friday night and got yelled at for being at the race. I really would like to fire that person. Stressed out and no sleep, so all in all I will take the time I ran. I was going great until mile 19 then my mental side lost it. I gave back all the time in the last 6 miles or so. I had held pace and every time I started running again I was back up to MP but I had absolutely no drive to run. I can't say I even gassed or hit the wall just didn't have it upstairs. It was good to see Jeff at the finish and talk with him.

That is a great time for your first marathon, tough conditions and all the work and life stresses you had that week! You should be proud of your accomplishment and know that there will be other chances when hopefully you have more mental and physical stability in your life.

It was great seeing you and chatting. Our prayers are with you in the hard times at work. Sorry about the tough phone call the night before, nothing like having a relaxing evening before this hard challenge.

Congrats Craig on your race. That is a very impressive time. Sorry to hear you didn't hit goal time, but considering the week you had I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. As far as the employee harrassing you, maybe they should try to put in the training that you did then see how they feel about it. Most other people just don't get it. Well done, and next one will even be better for you.
