I, too, ran the San Antonio marathon last weekend, and I had also trained using the Jeff Galloway method. It about killed me to keep the 2:1 run/walk pace I had trained with, especially during the first half of the race - but, it paid off during the second half. I actually had a negative split and was able to run the whole race. At approximately 13.1 miles, my timer showed just under 3 hours--and my finish time was 5:45. Except for the very last 2-3 miles, I was able to keep my 2:1 pace for the entire course. Congrats on finishing your marathon! Was fascinated by your post, and your experience during the race.
