Eugene Marathon

Well, I ran the Eugene Marathon last Sunday with 15 weeks of training and was able to run a 4:01:36! 31 minutes faster than my last marathon the Three Sisters Marathon last June. The race had pacers and I was able to keep up with the 4 hour pacer till about mile 21. After that I got pretty tired and slowed down. I walked through the last 2 water stations to get as much as I could. Then about with about 1/2 a mile left, I give it all I had left. I was pretty sore for the next 3 days after, but that's good. It's telling me I pushed it. My next marathon is in 5 weeks, the Newport Marathon in Newport, Oregon. This is the race I wanted to get a sub-4 hour! After the Eugene Marathon, I can see it possible!!
