ING Georgia Marathon - 4 hrs 34 minutes
Training Run Report
It was cold. Maybe 42 at the start and 44 at the end? And windy at times. I missed coming in under 4 1/2 during the last 10k. It got hilly and a blister that I had on my foot made shuffling up the last 3 good hills impossible for me.
I liked the route a lot better this year. Druid Hills was around mile 17 and I cruised through there with ease. Last year that was the 13 mile mark and combined with the heat it really broke me down. There were only a couple of roads that really had a bunch of cars on them. Made for a pretty good route. Plenty of fluids on the course. A little road rage (welcome to Atlanta).
And shortly after the finish line - Five Guys Burger & Fries. No better way to get 1600 calories in one sitting if you ask me! So it was a pretty good training run. I just wanted to be in under 5 hours. Today was about testing out my nutrition plan and it worked like a champ. Never felt like I hit the wall. Never felt like I had a gut bomb (even after FIve Guys!!!).
