What are you talking about?? It was definitely a successful race--you did the distance, pushed through the pain, and in spite of difficulty you came very close to your "A" time--which is pretty awesome for a first marathon. Complete success.
Congrats, Marathoner.
I agree 100%! Congrats on your first marathon!

Thats a great result on your first marathon and not far at all away from your goal. That is really something to be proud of. I will be looking forward to your progress. Also, congrats on getting through the FIRST program. I just did the same and I know it is very tough, both physically and mentally.
Congrats, Casual-Runner!! You are now a marathoner!!

Why fit in when you were born to stand out?

That's definitely a decent time for a first marathon. You are gauging your lack of success by the time goal of your marathon; this is easy to do because the FIRST program seems to promote itself as a time-goal prescription program. It really shouldn't; I think this is a misleading implication of the program.
You can be proud of your accomplishments with your training and this race. You were very disciplined in your training and ran a good race. Congratulations.

Casual-runner... may I suggest a name-change? There's nothing casual about a marathon, eh? It's hardcore, as is the 'experience' it inflicts. Good luck figuring out your next game plan! (Those foot curl beasties sound like foot cramps to me; may have something to do with arch fatigue? I've had that - as well as painful tingly toes. )
Pain aside, you did extremely well!! CONGRATULATIONS on a well-planned, well-executed marathon, man!

CONGRATULATIONS MARATHONER!!! Regardless of it being your plan B it was a fantastic Marathon debut....you should be very proud! Sorry to hear about the cramps and foot issues but you perservered and toughed it out.
Good to see you on the course too
Enjoy your well deserved R&R
