It is painful to come up short of a goal. I know by a shade under 2 minutes. The same 2 minutes, only 2 hours earlier, that the Houston Marathon winner was short of his goal, setting the fastest marathon time on U.S. soil. While Merga set the course record and I set a personal record, and that is where the similarities pretty much end, I do like his quote:
"I really tried to get the record," Merga said through a translator of his attempt to run under 2:05:42, "I can run better next year."

I'm not sure that it helps but Merga was 1.6% short of his goal. You on the other hand were only .8%away from yours. And you didn't need a translator. Good job...........Dad
Proud of you man! Keep up the good work..... Let's figure something out for 2009 bud.
One love
