"I finished in 5:33:47. I was right on target. And it was just like the coaches said: Around mile 20, I started passing a lot of people. The second half of my race was only about a minute slower than the first half. I tell you, the marathon training plan is magic. Well, not really magic, because I know a lot of knowledge and experience went into developing it. But it resulted in a day of magic for me!"
