Time was so so at about 4:26:51 but took it conservatively and, for once, didn't cramp up at 20 miles and ran the entire thing start to finish. Basically wanted to get one of these in the bag with the right hydration/nutrition strategy and without some sort of physical calamity overtaking me like the three other times I've done marathons. Feeling pretty peppy at the moment so probably could have gone faster. Challenging course too, very hilly.
And now, I think I'll go find me some ice cream and maybe a beer, things I've been missing these last few months. Off to Hawaii tomorrow.

Forget about the time being so so. I'm impressed you are doing those things at your age. I don't mean that as a negitive, just that i'm probably in your age category and can only dream of doing something like that
Anyhoo, congrats on finishing the marathon and enjoy your time in Hawaii. Ohhh and bring back some warm weather when your trip is sone
