(Pensacola, FL
) I had crippling knee pain (IT Band
) that kept my time down to about 5 1/2 hours. This run still went very well. I was hoping to break 4 hours however 40mph gusts and sustained winds of 20mph-25mph had other ideas. My final time was 04:02:59.The marathon
was well planned and there were plenty of aid stations with water, GU
and other refreshments to keep us going. One little mistake in the course though sent all runners an additional 800 feet so times were corrected for the planned mileage. Coming through the tunnel and out into Lambeau Field
was AWESOME! I'm sure it'll be one of the best marathons I ever do. One reason I planned to do this one this year was to complete it the same year as the Packers won the Super Bowl. To honor the Packers the marathon medal has the marathon emblem in football leather on one side.I felt so good I scheduled my next marathon
for June 5th, 2011 in Minneapolis just three weeks after. The weather report says temperatures from the 60s to upper 70s and no winds. Maybe a sub 4 hour marathon is in my future.During my time between marathons
I hit the weight pretty hard and ate extra calories. I have lost no weight in fact I gained a couple pounds and kept about the same percent body fat
. Starting next week it is all about cutting the body fat. Summer body here I come.Lambeau Field
