What are you trying to run?</p>

Main goal this time: fun. But, time-wise I'll still go out at BQ pace and see what that feels like (3:45:xx) and see if I can hang on. Added bonus this year is I'm older, so 3:50:xx would qualify me for 2012. I have no idea if I'm in that kind of shape this time, so at any point I could just completely switch to survival/fun mode. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" title=""></p>

<div class="quote-block"><br><p>You're in Corral A, right? (Or whatever the name is for the one you need to qualify for). We went over this a while ago in the TCM thread, I think. I'm just too lazy to look it up. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;" title=""></p>

<p>I'm also planning on going for a 3:45, which would be a PR for me (although nowhere close to a BQ). I think I've trained well, and if the weather is nice, I'll hopefully have a shot. I've now run more marathons since my PR than I did before it. In these last 2.5 years, I suppose I could use various excuses for that, such as a broken ankle, a bout of swine flu, the diagnosis of my epilepsy, some nasty weather, and a couple of really hard marathon courses. I don't think I'll have any of those excuses this time. So if I can't get the PR, I might as well give up trying... <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;" title=""></p>

<p> I'm in Corral 1. We should be right around eachother then for at least the first 1/2 of the race, or until one of us fades. I'm not a big talker when I'm running that fast or that far, so don't think I'm trying to be rude! I'll talk to you over beers, post-race. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" title=""> Decent chance I'll be wearing <span style="color:rgb(255,51,204);">pink</span>. Look for me.<br>

<p><strong>boB</strong> - I'm gonna try to do my own thing and NOT start out with the 3:40 pacer. I did that in 2008 and 2009 and when i just went back and looked at my runningahead log, those pacers were too fast for me - closer to 8:10 pace, with some miles even at 8:00ish. I don't want to blow up super early. I'll start behind the 3:40 pacer <strong>(Pacer</strong> - who is it, did you find out?) and do my own thing. I looked at numbers and the course today and I have a strategy. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" title=""> </p>

<p><strong>Baggs</strong> - who are you pacing? And what's she gonna do from mile 23 on without you!?!</p>
