You sure seem to take these things well, but I know it has to be disappointing because you have had so many training runs that are well on pace for a sub-4 marathon. I have no doubt that you will get it soon, though. You are a very strong runner, but none of us can do anything about those outside factors that sometimes come in and mess up our plans!! Way to tough it out, and get a PR for that tough course, though. I am so sorry, David.

Sorry the wheels came off, David...your long run splits looked so very, very good, this has to be disappointing. Certainly, the weather was an issue. Sorry your sinuses acted up. You'll learn much...you are a marathoner, after all...recover well. And how cool to do this with Amy...congrats to her!!! Ouch!!

It's a tough course and with the sinus troubles you had all week, I think you did a great job. I enjoyed running with you. I could tell when you started to feel bad, you stopped talking. I was hoping to keep you distracted and keep my running partner. Glad you found Jill to run with some again. And that Sara came out to bring you in. Hope to get to run with you again soon.
