Thanks, Rita. Well, i made it! by a minute. i ran out WAY too fast, doing 8 minute miles for the first 17 or so. i couldn't find my pace team and was guessing my pace. i made a typical first-timer mistake. The hilly course took a toll on my body and i felt like jello at 22 or so. i had to slow down a lot, i even walked a little. i ended up finishing at 3:39 and 5 seconds. i was really happy with my time but i know i can do better if i have an idea of what my pace is. the next one (boston??) will include either a watch or i'll be right with the pace team. thanks for your words of encouragement, Rita. McKenzie
