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!
Toby! How'd RnR go? I missed BQ by 22 seconds! Such a bummer I know, but it was a great first marathon Hope you had a good marathon too!

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!!!

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
