so close ...

NYC Marathon - The short and sweet of it.

I finished.

I missed a PR by 8 seconds.

I ran .66 further than 26.2 miles finishing in 4:15:56.

When my watch clicked to the marathon distance it read 4:09:26, 6:22 faster than at National in March (which is all that matters to me).

I'm not even one bit disappointed.

I've got 5 days to recover before I tackle the Richmond Marathon on Saturday.

Full recap tomorrow ...

    It sounds like you did a lot of weaving through those big crowds. I would say you ROCKED it. Great job. Happy (and speedy) recovery!

    Super awesome girl!!! And you looked super bad-ass, which is mega-bonus points. So enquiring minds want to know - will you relax or race in Richmond???
