Marathon Plan & Prediction

I plan to go out 20 secs slow for miles 1 & 2 and 10 secs slow for miles 3 & 4. That totals one minute and I'll have 22 to make it up. My target split is going to be 1:37 for a 3:15. The second half of the course is tougher with the hill up Edwards at mile 22. I need to average 7:26 for a 3:15.

3:15 or better: Dream time. I'll be ecstatic
3:16-3:19: This is where I'm guessing I'll be and I'll be delighted with a sub 3:20
3:20-3:26: No shame and still a PR under my 3:27
3:27-3:30:59: Still a Boston Qualifier so I can hold my head high.
3:30 or over: Oh well, there's always tomorrow, at least I know I've got the legs to run faster after my 10k and half marathon PR's.
