3:11:08
2012 LA Marathon is done!
My official finishing time was 3:11:08, exactly a two minute PR (3:13:08 at the NYC Marathon in 2006). It wasn’t as fast as I’d planned or wanted, but I’m (getting) happy about it. As a brief summary, I ran a fast first half, but I was suffering by mile 8 or 9 and didn’t think I’d be able to sustain it for 26.2. And then, I couldn’t. But with the help and support of tons of friends, I pushed through to the finish and got my PR.
