3:08:00

On Sunday I ran a 3:08:00 at the Shamrock Marathon and successfully qualified for the Boston Marathon. I'll be posting photos and race report shortly once I get things settled at work.

For now, a huge thank you to all my family and friends for their support, well wishes, and congratulations the past week. This has been an amazing past four months of works and I couldn't have got through it without you. THANK YOU!

Awesome job Dave. You and I were just a few minutes apart throughout the whole race, but you had a great negative split. Alas, I did not, but I still got 'er done. See you in Boston!

That's the way to execute. Super job. Nice and even splits the whole way.
