--- title: 'How It Went' date: '2005-03-06T15:32:40-05:00' permalink: /how-it-went/ tags: - running --- Before I go collapse, a quick update. I had three goals set for the marathon (whose name I am able to speak for the first time in two weeks): — The fairly-likely-to-make-it goal: just finishing. — The if-everything-goes-well goal: finishing in under 5 hours. — The pie-in-the-sky goal: finishing in 4.30, which was of course Never Going to Happen. My chip time, according to the lovely folks at [marathon central](http://results.doitsports.com/la/search.adp?refresh=3600&bib_list=7745) was 4.32.56. I rock. Having rocked, I’m now going to go take a nap. More on the race particulars, once I’m able to process information again.
