3:25, 3:15, sub 3:00 marathon? The sky's the limit! I want to see how fast I can get! :) 

Personal:

I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races.

Holy Nash-HILL!! It was hot, hilly and I crushed my PR by over 11 mins with only 12 weeks of training for this one!!! I'll tell ya, all it took was motivation and strategy. And, from this race I know I will really benefit from longer long runs. Can't wait to recover fully and hit it hard!!!

Wow! Awesome. A sub 4 marathon must feel great! I wouldn't know :(

Thanks, guys! It feels incredible. I PR-ed in a 5k and marathon in the same week! I found that working with weights and working on my speed (for short runs) helped tremendously. Now to focus on endurance and speed! :)

Congrats on smashing your goal and on achieving your new PR! With all of your training I was confident that you were going to make your goal. Way to push through and realize it!
