I should probably post my results from the LA Marathon (marathon #2 for me!). I didn't break my PR, but it's all good-- it was good to "experiment" and see what worked and what didn't. The next marathon (Long Beach) will hopefully be faster and more pleasant...

Wow, so I just realized that he must have passed me at some point in the race. I didn't think he'd start way in the back but he did. Interesting. My running idol passed me at some point and I didn't even know it haha.
