I shaved 18 minutes off my last marathon. I was hoping to do much better but the Vermont marathon had substantially more hills than I am used to (it rained through most the race, yuck). Overall it was a great work out. The Vermont marathon really pushed me!

I just hope to keep on shaving time off in the future. Progress seems to be gradual.

Congrats on the PR. I was there too. I agree, it was a rainy and miserable morning. Battery Street hill is pretty tough, but the drum corps are a big help! Keep up the hard work!
