Last year I took the Garden pretty serious, hitting the track in the months prior and not drinking the night before the race. I was very happy with the 67:48 I put down in 2012.
This year I've been doing nothing but trails and hills, very rarely averaging under ten minute miles. I doubted I would break 70, and thought 75 or even 80 would be a realistic goal. Especially since my buddy Pete from Austin was in town and we drank a ton of beers on Saturday night.
I ran 67:56. 35:15 for the first half, 32:47 for the last five. Eight seconds over ten miles is definitely not worth all that suffering I did on the track last year.
