Location: West Windsor, NJ
Comments: Went out fast, backed off some in the middle, finished up strong. Felt good. Some guy was shadowing me for the first five miles, so I let him take the pacing duties between miles 5 and 6 and we run a 6:13 mile. He turns to me and saids the pace is slowing, I felt like saying "well whos fault is that!", however he seemed to be struggling more than me so instead I just pick up the pace to 5:56 and drop him. Splits (5:46, 11:55, 17:45, 23:45, 29:48, 36:01, 41:57, 47:45-53?)...4th place master.

2008 NYC Marathon

Pace/Mile: 6:48.2
Age Grade: 73.6%
Age Group Place: 161st of 4853 finishers
Date: 11/2/2008
Location: New York, NY
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.

Ramsey Run - 10K

7th overall out of 168
Pace/Mile: 5:51
Age Grade: 79.9%
Age Group Place: 1st of 38
Date: 9/13/2008
Splits (5:36, 11:30, 17:30, 23:25, 29:33, 35:15)
Comments: My pace was all over the place from 5:36 to 6:08 per mile, however I felt good and was pleased with my time. The Don Bosco HS XC team showed up again this year and ruined any hopes of me winning this year like in 2004 when nobody showed up. (http://www.compuscore.com/cs2004/sept/ramsey1.htm) Maybe I will have to duck the competition and run the 5K next year instead, if I am still in shape. I was pleased with my age grade of 79.9%, which is my highest since college, still short of my goal of 80.0% as a master.

Glen Rock Arboretum 5 Mile Run

2nd overall out of 151
Pace/Mile: 5:51.2
Age Grade: 78.3%
Date: 9/1/2008
Splits (5:57, 11:40, Missed, 23:16) I did not pay close attention to the splits so these may not be accurate.
Comments: The first place guy started to pull away from me slightly before 4 miles. I was just not able to go with him; it was more about me not being able to maintain the pace then him actually picking up the pace. Oh well 2nd place again.
