I think my plan is going to be to try to stick with the 4 hour pace group the entire way. Based on all of the random pace calculators out there, the estimate for me seems to be anywhere between 3:45 and 4:05 based on my other times, so sticking with that pace group should hopefully prevent me from taking off too quickly at the start, like I have every single other time.
My goals:
A goal: Sub-4 hour marathon (finally)
B goal: New Marathon PR (current PR for me is around 4:17)
C goal: Just finish!

I've seen you crush PR after PR all Summer long it seems. You've been a beast this Summer, I'm sure if you pace it right, you'll cruise to that A goal.
I have a Facebook friend from Montreal who will be running the half.
Have fun, enjoy the time of the road and go get 'em!
