| There was a fresh blanket of snow on the lawn when I got up this morning, but the roads were just wet with slushy spots....at first. By about mile 7 I was slogging through 2-3 inches of deep/wet snow that completely covered the road, and the snowflakes hitting me were huge. It was a beautiful scene, but not a day for a fast pace. I ran 10.71 sloppy miles.

Pocatello Marathon (26.2 Miles) 04:01:27 | | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | | 26.20 | 0.00 | 26.20 |
| This was my 14th time in a row running the Pocatello Marathon. I am on the race committee now so I get to be part of all the behind the scenes work in the months leading up to the race. I spent most of Friday helping out doing what I could at the finish line and the packet pick up.
I drove myself to the starting line and arrived at 4:30am since I was helping out at the start before I ran. I helped guide runners from the buses and just generally made sure everything was going smooth. Mike has been directing this race for years and he has this thing down to a science.
I started off towards the back of the pack because this was not a goal race for me, just a training run for fun. I also had some responsibilities at the finish so I took it easy. After about 2 miles of chatting I decided to turn on my music as I was somewhat by myself. Around mile 3 Holly Bowman from Inkom showed up next to me and we decided to run together for a bit. As it turned out we ran the entire rest of the way together and I never turned on my music again. I listened to a total of 2 songs the entire day. We had a great time and I was glad to be able to help her along through a couple of tough patches.
At the fininsh I quickly showered and got ready for the awards. I was the sponsor of the new Idaho Triple Crown which was a series of 3 marathons. This being the first year I only got to put a medal on about 40 runners, but I am hoping this grows in the years to come.
