Watch will not revive.  Showers at finish line and cups of water on head ended its life.  So to memory (and luckily the new splits at 10k, 13.1, and 30k mark) I will write them--- didn 't look at watch first 6.2 miles (43:50 memory but clock on site says 43:47-- close enough :D),  then Veyo-- 7:29 :D, 7:22ish, 7:11ish, 7:22ish, 7:12 ish(miles 8-12),   then mile 13???  I think low 7s (7:08??), 14-- 7:02, 15- , 6:36, 16-- 6:37, 17--6:44, 18-- 6:45,  19- 7:14, 20-- 7:02ish,  21-- 6:27 (remember this one),  22????  23???? 24-- 7:18,  25???? (8:2x??) , 26.2 -- 8:30ish based off mile to go sign at 2:59:XX.     Just writing this down for me for next year.  Really feel if the 3:05 pacer didn't pass by with his balloon I would have run better at the finish (and a FULL GU would have been a great blessing at that time).  He just kind of freaked me out-- element of surprise.  It was then that my breathing was difficult.  But I am not worried now as I am quite happy with my PR under the circumstances.

It looks like the burning pain is subsiding a bit for you. I'm glad. You are doing a great job taking it easy on recovery and letting your body heal. I hope you find the answers to all your chronic pain soon.

I'm sorry you can't revive your splits. :( Next year you will absolutely get that sub 3:05. How have you been? We need to run together like an easy 5-6 miles. Thats all I can really make it right now.

Rachelle-- got to work on my race anxiety and seriously still laughing (ha ha) about looking into my Roo Pack that I borrowed from Kim and the shock in my face at mile 8 seeing only one gu in there....I calmly tried NOT to panic. But fueling is sooooo important and something I rarely pay attention to on my regular runs until I wonder why in the heck I am soooooo hungry at mile 8 having had nothing to eat since the dinner the night before. :D. But man the first 23 miles were easy!!! gotta love that! seriously at 7:29 up veyo felt easy!! I am ready for a comeback since my feet are pain free!!! the marathon cured them! hee hee.
