I am loosely thinking I’m going to smash the St Jude half in December, go under 4 at the Disney full in January, and 4:30 in the Strolling Jim in May. Then retire to halfs only.
as encouraging/discouraging as the SJ was - as I meet more people who have run marathons, often times they were slower than what I did the SJ in. Especially first ones.
the mental defeat of the SJ will live with me if I do not conquer it (even tho I kinda conquered it)
