Like I said, I didn't really know how to train back then...I was young and dumb. I did run in college, nothing spectacular.
My first two were 2:44, then I did a few in the low 2:30's, then I got under 2:30, then...some low 2:20's. After, like 8 marathons I ran the 2:19. I think I was 36/37 or so at the point.
That was the fastest I ran, some low 2:20's. And now at 46 I am going backwards....
