Well I was able to run the SGM. I am pretty happy with my time. I did forget my watch with the early morning and didn't realize it until i was almost to the start. My wife woke up before the race started and noticed the watch so she had my dad bring it to me at about mile 7 (Veyo). Unfortunately I got there a little bit before he did. So I ran about 3/4 a mile out fo the way to get the watch. With that little detour i was still able to finish in under 3:30 which was a goal. My silent goal was to aveage 7:30/mile pace (3:16:30). Mainly though I wanted to run this and just see how fast I could do it since I hadn't run a road marathon since I started running. I do kind of wish that I wouldn't have ahd that little hiccup to see how fast I really could have gone. I will have to do this race again to see how fast I can go. I think if I were to train solely for the marathon I would be able to qualify for Boston.
