*Sigh* Yup, didn't quite meet the BQ time in the Seattle Marathon with my time of 3:48:10. I was doing GREAT up through mile 17-18. My half way split was a PR of 1:41, but then the back end came and the last 6 or so miles were all hill, coupled with rain, wind, cold, and at one point, there was hail. The ending was such a disaster. There was a reason I stopped supporting this marathon a few years ago (the race director was an evil wench), and now, I will vow never to run this one again, for a different reason.
Today, I have to choose between the R&R Arizona marathon on 1.15.2012 or the IMS Arizona Marathona on 2.19.2012. I figured it would be best to just find the earliest marathon to try and get this BQ thing done, so that I could use this past weekend as a training run. I'd prefer the timing of the R&R, but the course, cost and size (small) of the IMS is much more appealing. I will likely go with the latter.
My legs are super sore. I'm hobbling around like a goofball. It was soooo cold out there, but the asics arm warmers I purchased at the expo were fantastic - so glad Bri recommended them!
