2009 Frederick Marathon Splits
Just thought I’d post my splits from yesterday’s Frederick Marathon in which I finished 14th place overall in 3:02:11. Actually I don’t have all the splits; as I mentioned in an earlier post, my Garmin 405 starting acting up in the rain and stopped working after Mile 16. Here’s what I have though:

Frederick Marathon: End Of The Sub-3:00 Streak

I’ve taken advantage of Blaine Moore’s excellent Marathon Pre-Race Checklist Generator
48 Hours To Go And An Easy Three Miles
What a beautiful morning to go for a run – 60°F, sun coming up and a nice cool breeze. For once it would have been nice to run longer, but unfortunately I have the small matter of a marathon to run on Sunday. Today is all about conserving energy and staying fresh for the race, [...]
