Hey Steve. It was a pleasure to share the experience of your first trip to the Boston Marathon. You shouldn't beat yourself up to bad over your performance. A 3:12 at this race is still a respectable time and way faster than my second marathon which also happened to be Boston. It took me a few attempts to figure this course out and It wasn't until my 11th in 2008 that I felt I ran the nearly perfect race.
You have some great running skills and I'm sure you'll see some fantastic improvements in your marathon times as you figure out the
distance. All the best in your upcoming racing season and perhaps we'll meet again on the Cabot Trail.
