St. George number 6 and marathon number 20 under the belt.  Hung with Leslie Peterson the entire race.  I was supposed to be motivating her, but my body fell apart in the second half and she kept me from DNF'ing.

Plantar Fasciitis kicked in bad in the left food early on in the race and made it painful.  Left IT Band flared up around 14 and I would feel some twinges like me knee wanted to give out every once in a while.  Got some Coban tape at an aid station that helped keep it liveable.  

I can tell I altered my stride enough that my groin has some muscle damage.  Made it through - it wasn't pretty - but I finished.
