Am: Won my second year of the OKC Memorial Marathon. I will post more and later on this blog entry later on tomorrow, but for now I just want to log the entry before I crash for the evening. Pleased with the effort and how good I felt, especially from mile 18-26.2. Almost felt like a tempo/cruise run the last 8 miles of the race. Had a bowel movement though at mile 14ish which was a big time bummer. Probably lost 45s-1min in the Port-o-john but when nature calls.......Weather was pretty ideal this morning for OKC this time of year especially for the little amount of wind we had. Overall very pleased to get the W in my hometown...Great experience, especially the last stretch on broadway! The support and the energy was amazing!

Congrats on winning it again! I wonder what the motorcycle guys did when you ducked into the PoP? Where'd he go?
