I too ran this marathon. My wife was talking the pictures at the end of the race and handing out the framed bib numbers. I hope you have bitten the marathon bug cause I know it hit me. I have now finished my 6th marathon yesterday. Keep up the good work.TimChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08150940304830694802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-72109316924957303772009-11-29T21:01:53.678-05:002009-11-29T21:01:53.678-05:00Hello Tim. I was checking out different race reports and came across yours. I am the guy from Powder Springs who ran with you much of the race. I meant to get your contact information but I guess I forgot due to that Leprechaun with the Air Jordans that was running next to me. Great race recap and blog. I came in at 4:06 and was really bummed out over it but a lot of runners also agreed with the difficulty of the second half so I felt a bit better. Its so funny how a lot of our experiences all seem parallel. I went through a variety of thoughts and emotions as well.I also thought about training over 20miles in the future but wont. I also put my 26.2 mile magnet on in the parking lot also lol. I Ran the ATL Half Marathon on Thanksgiving(felt great).Now its on to the next full(dont ask me why)in 2 crazy weeks.Dingohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04018207902090932298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-241177061520294192009-11-28T15:28:39.443-05:002009-11-28T15:28:39.443-05:00Congratulations Tim! I just found your blog for the first time today. No one should even think about the time during their first marathon - all that matters is finishing the race and enjoying the experience. I ran my first marathon 10 years ago and finished in 4:24 and was unhappy about it. Years later, I slowly got back into running and last month I finished my 36th marathon (at Chicago - same as my first) in 3:08.<br />Keep up the great work. It gets better and more fun, sometimes a little easier, and definitely more addicting.Philhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11161766910243698896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-12160869586780713952009-11-25T23:11:39.849-05:002009-11-25T23:11:39.849-05:00Congratulations, Tim! Finally had a chance to sit down and read thru your experience. I had a bad &#39;bonk&#39; in my training and one time came really close to it. I will probably make my mind up in the next couple of weeks about the ING next year. I hope your Thanksgiving is great. Just think about how far you&#39;ve come and that you actually went 26.2 miles - incredible!!!

I like that you can remember so much...<br />I though about the 26.2 sticker too, then I forgot. I definitively need mine too :-)<br />Congratulations, and welcome in the 26.2 club!

Really enjoyed reading your post-marathon blog. You really did well for a first-timer. I think my first marathon was around 4:28 and that was fairly flat (Tallahassee). I always trained up to 24 miles, but there are varying opinions on the proper length. Having run the half, I could really relate to your description of the race; I thought they did an excellent job and the course was great. I had the same issue with the timing - my Garmin came up at 13.6 for the half. First time I have had that happen; interesting. Your comments about the other runners were very interesting; I think it was great that you took the time and made the effort to talk to others; sometimes it&#39;s easy to get wrapped up in your own effort. Sounds like you are recovering well; I look forward to hearing more from you!rennerchickanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-12439973547796019622009-11-18T06:20:07.601-05:002009-11-18T06:20:07.601-05:00It is rather interesting for me to read that blog.

It was fun reading about your progress. I, too, would caution against doing training runs over 20 miles. I also fell apart after mile 21 at my first marathon last year and suffered greatly. This year I completely changed my fueling strategy for my 2nd marathon and PR&#39;d by 43 minutes. Just saying- look at other aspects of your training regiment and keep an open mind. Now you can relax :)Jessehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01701251036331759309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-30737785792665148442009-11-16T12:28:46.761-05:002009-11-16T12:28:46.761-05:00I&#39;m so pleased to see you made it!

I have followed your progress (although quietly most of the time). <br />I would (as others have) caution about extending the long run past the 20-21 mile area.
