I had to climb a uphill battle, my headphones broke last night and I was sick wednesday and I haven't run since then.   At about mile 18 I didn't have much left so I just held on the best I could all things considered I beat last years time but I was a little dissappointed I wanted to break 3 hours again.

I thought you were on track for sub 3, but at least you are ahead of last year at the same point. Sorry for the bad luck of getting sick. Curious, what's your tie to this marathon?

Thanks Paul, I really thought sub 3 would happen till I got sick. After being sick I thought finishing would be good. I am not thrilled but I know I gave it all I had. My in-laws live in Georgia and last year I was looking for a marathon, this year I just wanted to do it again and I was hoping to improve on it.

Nice job on the race, considering the sickness, its a good time. Did you get a 3:06 last year?

From Richard Borget on Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 19:44:50 from 32.156.223.112

Yes, my time was 3:06 last year about 30 seconds faster this year.
