We stayed in Tremonton Friday night so we had a 30 min drive to get to the bus in Logan. Got to the start and they had a heated tent set up and it was so awesome because it was raining out and felt so good.
Race started and it was very congested at first and I could not beleive it, I had to stop at the very first bathroon just 1 mile into the race. Decided to run between a 7:20 and a 7:25 pace after the first couple miles. It was raining and at times came down hard, but did not bother me to much as it felt good and i do not mind running in the rain.

Very happy with the run after just coming of of the Pocatello Marathon just 2 week ago. I was expecting something to happen. Just didn't have all the energy the last 6 miles the way I did in Pocatello. Very happy with the run, I BQ for the 2013 marathon.
This race was a well put together Marathon also and would run it again next year also.
Oh -- I did make it into the Boston Marathon on April 16 2012 !!!!!!!!! |
