Great job! Considering all the mileage you put in that month that's still a great time. I don't know if I could make the same claim putting in 200+ miles during the month and still finishing in under 4 hours. Plus you had much more fun than I did. My fun was giving high fives and posing for pics while running downtown, but after that it was almost all business Still, it was definitely a fun race to run! Next time I'll have a friend at mile 24 to give me a beer before I finish the race

Andy you ROCKED out there! I'm glad you had such a good learning experience. Now you can refine your strategy and cruise steady to your BQ goal. Way to go!

My experience out there was a bit different as I am coming off a 230+ mile May and intentionally slowing my pace to prepare for the Vermont 100 in July. I ended up filming the race with a POV head cam while running I had SO much FUN out there! I even chugged a beer at the 20K mark, ate otter pops and red vines that the kids in Crown Point were handing out, ran with friends I caught up to and stopped to chat with folks along the course. I had a blast!!!

Hi there, Just wondering where the neighborhood posts have been put. Thanks.

Hey Frank, great question! The Neighborhood now lives under Area Runners and Clubs in Run and Race Together

Ps. Any threads you've already created can be found by going through the community tab within your My Active profile

Hey Running Community Members – As you may know, Active currently has two online communities for running that operate independently of each other. Our vision is to ultimately bring everyone together into one central place to talk about running and form the largest and interactive online running community!

We'd like to share our plans with you before getting started because there might be some questions as we make changes here and there. On Monday June 1, we will be migrating all Active running community to Cool Running in order to bring our running community together in one place.

Note the slight changes to the layout:

General Running Discussion
Newbie Runners
Couch-to-5K (C25K)
Sports Nutrition for Runners
The Med Tent
Gear
Trail Running & Ultras
Just Music
Boomers & Beyond
Athena & Clydesdale
Way Cool Running
Clubhouse
Feedback & Support
Area Runners and Clubs
Marathons and Events
Announcements & Classifieds
Fundraising
Training Advice, Programs and Reports Community

Bookmarks shouldn’t be effected either, but don’t worry if they are because your conversations aren’t going anywhere--you can always find your stuff through your My Active profile by going to the community tab.

Please let me know if you have any questions. You can post a reply here or private message me. Thanks everyone! ~Toby

Hey Toby, you must mean Mon. June 1, right? So far the group here has been supportive, informative and helpful for us "regular folks". If the other groups are the same and not running snobs bring 'em on!

LOL, thanks for catching that--I'm going to make the edit now. Thank you

Yes, there is even more support to be had by this next step forward. We're finally all coming together!
