Dreadful day.  Losing my brother in law.   Roll over crash last night.  Woken 120 am by my daughter Courtney to learn of this.   I actually don't know if I ran today. I think I tested myself ?   Went to chiropractor.   10 am after.

Arrived having walked down hopkington exit that was blocked off by police.  He let me by.   It was a 1.5 mile walk.   Used bathrooms by corral that were for elite by cvs.   Found some pins to put bib on.   Also as I got to my corral a volunteer handed out sunscreen.   We were herded like sheep.  I spent less than ten min at the starting line area.  First 5.8 my hamstring was happy.  Then I nearly had to walk off the course.  Limping and in terrible pain.   I walked up to Troy and amber at mile 6 telling them I was so worried I may not finish and to tell my cousins that.  Before that I had drifted easily to 7:40 pace. Now I was walking five min.  Last part mile six. First part mile 7.  Then I just tried my best to start running again.  At  before mile 9 I stopped at a bathroom. A minute lost here. But I only was concerned about finishing.  By mile 17 my quads started to hurt from doing all the work.  I got water and Gatorade at every mile they had it. Which was every one !  After mile 2.   I think   The whole race is a blur of overcoming pain in my hamstring area to get to finish    No time to  enjoy  it    I was panicked by the pain  my avg heart rate was 174 !!  And I was jogging   It was hot but I didn't even care.  One foot in front of the other   I ran 26.47 miles because I ran on left side of street the whole way    Here are spots including my 0.47 - 8:32/8:25/8:24/8:14/8:24/9:49/10:16/9:30/10:12/9:25/9:17/9:02/9:12/8:54/9:07/9:01/9:23/9:28/9:09/9:09/9:57/9:17/9:10/9:15/9:23/9:28/8:58 for 0.47

stomach flu (thought food poisioning but then Troy got it Monday).  Before getting on plane diarhea, vomiting.  Then stuck on plane on run way in indianapolis when supposed to be in chicago for 1 hour 45 min. body aches moaning.  Then more body aches on way to las vegas (put us on indirect flight back to slc).  That was miserable.  Got home 7.5 hours later and I went right to bed and slept 12 hours.  Called in three days.  Pinky also double in size and super painful so I don't move it.
