Still man, my goal pace was 10:00 so running 7, 8 minute miles is impressive. Now you gotta figure out how to keep it going.
edit: I say your other thread wher you were figuring 7:30 miles. was that realistic?

I ate 4 gels. Before I started I made sure I drank enough water/gatorade that I felt like my stomach would pop. I usually do this anyway when I run, even training. Aide stations I rotated water and Gatorade.
7:30 was a little unrealistic. I was hoping to hit around 7:45-8:00 miles when it was all said and done. I still think the too quick of start really hurt me along with not being able to keep the pace which just means I need to do more intervals at the pace I want to run. I don't know if I would do anything different other than start a bit slower and train more at the pace I want to run.
Oh well, next time I'm so going to hit that 8 min mark or I just may throw something. :complain :complain
