The obvious question is: will I do it again. The answer is “Almost certainly!” If nothing else, that pace is an official Boston Marathon qualifying time and should be many minutes past whatever lower cutoff they end up with for men 35–39. I’m jazzed!
- re: the advice you got, I like "a marathon is a 20 mile jog to a 10k"
- glad you didn't fall, and found somebody to run with! The mental state that late in a marathon is so fragile and strange
- the not-quite cramping sabotaged my last Boston completely, I couldn't move miles 20-22 or so
Come run Boston, it's the greatest, it actually lives up to its billing. The crowd is uproarious, the participants are varied and wonderful, it's a part of history
I got to run a race with Kipchoge! I mean, it's just incredible.
Congrats, and hope to see you in New England next year!
