Marathon #17: Wonderful PR in Chicago 2009
It was a marvelous day to run a marathon today. Everything went very smoothly as I knocked out the splits pretty consistently today, which are listed below along with my unofficial result.
I feel very satisfied. I ran exactly how I had hoped and achieved my "A" goal, which was to PR with a 2:58.
I am currently undecided on my next goal. I need to savor this a bit. Running four marathons in the span of 8 months with an average time of 3:01 (w/ two sub-3's) in all major regions of the USA (West Coast, Midwest, East Coast and Southwest) is more than I would have ever imagined possible for myself.

Strong work! You're splits are like a metronome. You should be really pleased.
WOW! Congratulations! Perfectly paced. You're amazing!
Awesome, nice job!
Woot, woot! Congrats on an awesome PR on your home course.
Ryan - nice job! weird that we finished so close together. I know 5-6 "online friends" who ran within 30 seconds of me, and I didnt meet any of them on the day - bizarre! Again, congrats! time to start thinking about that sub 2:50.....
