I saw your lovely wife and boys at Chipotle today! Missed seeing you though...someone's got to bring home the bacon, huh?

Happy New Year = )

Great review! Has Sean set a goal for your Marathon? No wonder you could race a couple weeks after last year's Marathon, it was equivalent to an 18:00 5K effort!!! Good luck in 2010!

Pony,

My wife told me all about it, and yes I was bringing home the bacon!

Anon,

Yes, Sean suggested I go for top local finisher which would be low 2:30's. Mentally I'm not ready for such an effort. Instead I will take a similar approach as last year and go at a moderate effort level. I will use the training benefits from the marathon to once again to become a better runner in the spring. Currently I'm shooting for 2:46.
