Race: Camp Pendleton Inaugural Hard Corps Marathon
Date: April 25th, 2009
Location: Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base, Southern California
Notes:
First off, I PR’d! YESH!! Three years after my previous best time (San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon 2006, my 2nd marathon, then a personal record at 5:54:23) and two years since then of dismal running performances, I finally broke the record with a nice 11-minute buffer — this time at the Inaugural Hard Corps Marathon. Chip time recorded at 5 hours, 43 minutes and 38 seconds. Oh yeah! So what if I was 15th out of 17 in my age group! So what if I was 348th out of 371 overall! SO WHAT (to quote P!nk), I’m still a rockstar! 
Well, okie I’m just really excited that I PR’d my marathon (finally). I guess the training really did pay off. ^_^
I have to append this post as I remember some details from the run (it’s all a bit fuzzy still!) but here are the highlights and lowlights… Take a breather, this is going to be rather lengthy
