I don't know if you're becoming sarcastic and belligerent or you're starting your own pity party.Many people here--including me--have commended you enthusiastically on a great race on a difficult course. You asked for opinions and the consensus seems to be that:1. Another marathon on 11/20 would be unwise2. You may have overtrained for this one, especially with that 22-miler and sub-marathon pace3. You should revisit your pace, especially for longer runs, as you gear up maybe for a spring half and a fall 2017 marathon?Nobody said you were terrible at training or racing. You asked advice so we gave it.
