Comments: This was my sixth marathon and thankfully my sixth marathon PR in a row. This my first marathon where I actually felt that if I trained a bit more that I could actually race the whole distance and not just survive the last few miles.This is not to say that I did not fall apart the last few miles, however just not as bad as my previous marathons. Even though my time was only 1:25 faster than Boston, I think NYC is much harder course and I felt much better for a longer period of time so all in all I was very happy and encouraged by my results.
