Okay, having only about 2 minutes to whip off a post about last Sunday’s Steamtown Marathon, I have to concisely articulate my thoughts about it. In a word, it ROCKS!!! The weather was perfect, the volunteers were plentiful, the course was gorgeous. The downhill, however, beat up my legs.
My time was 3:53:13. Initially, I was devasted as I needed a 3:50:59 to qualify for Boston 2009. I did qualify for 2010, so I’m happy about that. What really kills me is that at mile 18 my time was 2:34 and at mile 21 it was 2:59. I was running so well until my calf knotted up and forced me to stop and stretch. But I’ll save that story for another time.
