Atlanta Marathon: Head for the hills!!

Well, It was a beautiful day for the Atlanta Marathon. It began on a cold note, however, with temperatures in the mid 30's. I decided to stick with my long sleeved tech shirt, and used some socks for gloves. I ran in shorts, knowing that once we got going, I would feel about right. My hunches were correct, and I discarded the sock gloves somewhere in the first mile. It was a good run, but the hills got to me! I'll write a more complete report tomorrow evening. For now, here is a copy of my splits:
