TOPIC: Training for the LA Marathon

I'm still waiting for his finish time to come across.

WHAT A STUD!<br /><br />27:51:00 27M 51S<br />58:43:00 30M 52S<br />1:28:04 29M 21S<br />1:57:26 29M 22S<br />2:28:15 30M 49S<br />2:59:24 31M 09S<br />3:31:23 31M 59S<br />4:02:03 30M 40S<br />

We may not be able to get a finish time until later.  I went to check and see if it was a computer glitch that was preventing the time from loading and on the LA marathon's website it said that they were experiencing sporadic system crashes due to heavy traffic on the site.

Only flat-earthers believe in running. I didn't go through millions of years of evolution to actually have to run when nothing's even chasing me. Next thing you know we'll all be pooping in the streets and drinking out of rivers.

All I got to say is go Brian!

Well done Brian!

Yes, great job Brian!  Gary, thanks for getting the finish time and ending placement.<br /><br />Kim

<br /> :cool:<br />Way to go Brian!<br />You're my new inspiration.

Congrats, Brian!<br /><br />And enjoy that little present you should get in the mail tomorrow...<br /><br />You deserve it!

Thanks so much, everyone!  Gary, thanks for following my results and updating the forum!  I figured I would update everyone once I got home!  I am really happy with my finish - My goal was to finish in 4:30, and maybe 4:22, which would have been a 10 minute per mile pace.  Finishing in 4:14:25 was wonderfully unexpected!  I'll post more with some info on the race itself - my calves are hurting, but otherwise I feel really good!  Thanks for all the support and good wishes!  Special thanks to everyone who donated!  And extra special thanks to Jeff for the incoming present!  I can't wait to see what it is!  He also pm'ed me and told me I would also get the purp for the prize drawing for the donors.  I will announce the purp and the winner tomorrow!<br /><br />Thanks again!!! =) :cool: =D

I hope you had a nice long soak in the tub after running such an awesome race!<br /><br />Kim
