2011 New York City Marathon Review

It would be fair to say that I am very disappointed in my finishing time of 4:20:44. I was hoping to finish under 4 hours like I did last year. That didn't happen. Instead, I hit the wall with 5 miles to go. When I look back, it was the fact that I didn't train properly for any of the marathons I ran this year. I needed to get longer training runs & bicyling in. Next year, when I do run a marathon, I will stick to the training plan because I know it works. Also, I don't lose sight of the fact that getting that medel at the end of the race is an accomplishment. It's just that I always want to do better the next time.
