Atlanta Marathon

Race Report - 2008 Atlanta Marathon

Summary

I ran the Atlanta Marathon on November 27, 2008 (Thanksgiving Day), finishing in 4:26:16, a new PR.  It was my 5th marathon, but first time on this course (though I've ran the Atlanta Half Marathon on the latter half of the course in years past).  This was probably the toughest marathon course I have run, with rolling hills at the beginning and some serious hills in the last 6 miles, so I am very proud that I was able to PR, even though I was short of my 4:15 goal.
