Beautiful morning for a marathon, perfect temps at the start with the sunhine begining to show it's rays. I was not sure how this was going to go today with the injury to my left lower leg. Doc took x-rays no broken bones so I decided to go for it. My injury was really not a bother at the begining, and actually did feel good until mile 20 Ogden Canyon started to make it's effect known. Pretty muche limped in from there. My legs is sore and swollen as am am writing this on tues. evening. I will take the week off and hope to try a run on sat. or mon. My Garmin died at the begining of mile 20 was on target for about a 4:20 or 4:25 marathon until the injury reared it's ugly head. Mile split's are as follows.
Mile 1. 9:20

At mile 20 After recharing my garmin it diplayed total time at this point at 3:23:49.
I wonder what might have been if not for thr injury? Hmmmm.
Hopefully I will be well enough for Utah Valley. Cross your finger's and toe's. |
