Ran 20 miles in preparation for DesNews Marathon.  Started again at the base of Little Mountain and ran down Emigration and back to my house in Hollady.  It went better than my 18 miler a couple of weeks again.  Ended up with a pace of 7:14.  Still a little slower than I would like, but not too bad.

Ran the DesNews Marathon.  Was not sure if I was completely ready to run the pace I wanted but decided to run anyways.

 The race started out pretty good.  I had not run the first 6 miles of the course and had heard it could be pretty fast. I didn't want to start out to fast, but it was so downhill that I was going at a faster than normal pace for me and I didn't feel like I was exerting myself too much.  At mile 6 I was at a 6:33 pace.  Faster than expected and probably too quick for me.  The run up little mountain went well and I was at 6:55 pace here.  Coming down Emigration I did not ran as fast as I had expected.  My split at the half way point was just under 1:31, about where I wanted.  I got the the zoo at a pace of 7:00.  Not making up time in the canyon was my first clue that the race may not end well.  Once I started heading north on Foothill drive, the wheels come off.  I hit a wall and ended up walking a fair amount of the rest of the race.  Finished with a time of 3:29.  It was disappointing to crash at the end, but not totally unexpected.  My last 2 marathons have ended that way, crashing at about mile 18-20 and struggling to finish.  I obviously need to improve my endurance if I hope to qualify for Boston.
