I'm an idiot. I've been training for June 2nd. The marathon is actually June 9th. Wow. I went down to Provo to pick up my race packet but there was nobody there. I checked my email (thank goodness for smart phones) to make sure I was in the right place. Oh no, wrong date. Wow, I am an idiot.  So I decided to run a half instead.  I'm glad the marathon was not on this day because I was miserable during the run.  I  was dead after 5.  The heat doesn't bother me much so I don't think it was that.  We've had a bug going around our house so my guess is that I was fighting it off and the only symptom was fatigue.  I finished up the 13 with some walking mixed it and was dead tired the rest of the day.  I went to bed early and felt better in the morning.  Went to 9am church and was home again by 10am.  I went back to bed and slept another 3 hours.  So I'm a blessed idiot, fortunate that the race is actually on the 9th.

That definately made me laugh. Good thing is wasn't the other way around. Perhaps I will see you before the start Saturday (I am the 3:25 pacer). I hope you are feeling better and can go into the race feeling strong.

It was SO GREAT to see you at the race this morning. GOOD JOB!!! THANKS for stopping to say hello and a quick chat. Hope you enjoyed the race. It was a tough day out there.

The mix up with the dates made me laugh too. You're a good sport! :)

The race was brutal. I'll try and put it in tonight when I have time.

Too funny. Sometimes things just work out, despite our best efforts to mess them up.

So now that it's after June 9th, let's see your race report.
