I was extremely happy with the weather on Sunday. Saturday had been terrible- cold and rainy. Today isn't that much better. But Sunday was a jewel among ruins; we runners could not have asked for better!
Two and a half years ago, I had PR'ed at the LA Marathon with 3:40:58. The five marathons I ran after that did not shatter that PR, so I was hoping that I might be able to once again reach 3:40 at yesterday's MCM. Well, I did that, and then some. I totally shattered my record and created a new PR of 3:33:06.
I was really surprised that I did not hit a wall anywhere, that I kept on running steadily throughout the race, and that I had it in my to go all out right at the end. So I re-qualified for Boston and now the question is, can I go there in April without going broke? I think that since I've done Boston once, albeit in terrible weather, the major excitement is gone, but I'd still like to go. The whole trip is just really expensive. Enough about me.
Congrats to all the FitArlington participants and especially the first-timers! This was a truly beautiful course to run but I have to ask, weren't the post-race refreshments a bit lacking? Did anyone see any bagels or oranges?
