Indy Marathon - 8:30 am start - 45 degress, extremely windy - seemed like about 30 to 40mph headwinds at times.  Course was fairly hilly as well.  Overall a good result, but went out too fast and really crashed at the end.  Think I ran way long again...

6:13, 6:46, 7:15, 6:50, 6:35, 6:43, 6:50, 6:40, 7:00, 7:00, 7:10, 7:00, 6:51

First half in 1:29:41 (ties PR! :()

6:53, 7:15, 7:05, 7:10, 7:31, 7:38, 7:31, 7:44, 7:50, 7:45, 8:22, 8:50, 9:51, 2:54 for last 0.318 mi. - my watch also says that my distance was 26.38 miles!

I'm thinking 3:04:xx on November 5 in downtown Indy - its really flat, hopefully no wind :)

Windy conditions are tough - I hope you were able to tuck in behind someone every once in a while. On a flat course, it looks like you are set for a pretty solid PR! Nonetheless, 3:13 is a great time and you should be pretty happy with that!!

My dog eats socks, too. Sucks.

Great job on the windy race, that makes things tough. Here comes that 3:04!

Nice run :) I am still very impressed with how far you have come in a short time. You deserve it though. I know you put in the effort.

nice race! a 3:13 in hilly/windy conditions is very solid. good luck with your training for the next one in november -- i think you can hit your goal on a flat course.
