I got out for an easy run just to see how things are feeling. I started out feeling alright, but my achilles started hurting again. I should probably not run the rest of the week.

Race: St. George Marathon (26.2 Miles) 03:15:43, Place overall: 467, Place in age division: 28
Total Distance

I started out pretty much in the last of all the runners. I got stuck in a bathroom line forever! So I was 12 minutes behind the clock and had thousands of people to pass. Overall experience was really sucky because of injury. My achilles kept going out on me. If I didn't have this problem and didn't have to stop for some bathroom stops, I might have broken 3 hours. I felt pretty good except for those 2 problems. I was also 2 weeks too old to win the Silver Shoe Award for the age group 15-18, but Dawson got it so its all good.  

Times:

1. 6:12 (Just passing thousands of people)

2. 6:40

3. 6:29 (19:21)

4. 6:27

5. 6:32

7. 6:26 (After this mile I spent like 3 mins. in bathroom)

8. 7:21

9. 6:50

10. 7:06

22. 8:27 (I think that Coach Roberts came and helped on this mile)

23. 7:52 (2:42:30)

25. 9:12 (Some dude helped me through this mile)

26. 8:15

.2. 1:18

Total: 3:15:42/7:31 mile.

My garmin says I'm a lot faster because that thing stops when I do. But add some bathr room stops, and being a wuss achilles stops and my time is right on.
