[DARTH VADER/JAY-Z]

Yeah
No longer Anakin
Formerly a Skywalker
Son’s next rebel hero
But I’ll be Sith forever
I’m the newest Dark lord And since my training years
I can choke from anywhere
Yeah my force is everywhere Used to run with Obi Wan We were both best buds foreva
But after three movies Now I’ve got a blood vendetta Grew up on Tatooine
No vegetation Catch me rolling through the cosmos in a moon-like station to Leia’s home nation Death Star wrecks it Now princess knows, Vader ain’t one to mess with
Flying through the trenches
Blasting rebel noobies
What happened to the fat one
Think he died of heart disease All that’s left is this guy
Chasing him in my TIE I won’t deny That his force is pretty damn high
Damn i just got wiped out
Falcon shot the back of me
Spinning into outerspace
But I’ll be back definitely

[PRINCESS LEIA/ALICIA KEYS]
In Star Wars Empire is out to find Leia Death star plans in R2 Shoot the exhaust port Kenobi may now be see-through But the force is within Luke
Let’s hear it for new hope, new hope, new hope
[Vader: You're welcome Obi Wan... I made you a ghost!]

[DARTH VADER/JAY-Z]
Catch me rockin boots and a cape like superman
Hell, I made wearing black more famous than that Jay-Z can
You should know I’d find you, hiding out at Echo
Now I got a Blizzard Force eliminate you quick yo
Welcome to the planet Hoth AT-ATs hit the spot Walking tanks are too legit
But they fall down a lot Check the front, check the back, cant find the Falcon yet
We need them all alive, so no disintegrations Boba Fett 8 million asteroids, where’d your little ship go?
Get me to Cloud City, I got Lando on my payroll
Me I gotta double check if carbonite’s ok If freezin’s safe for Han
Doing Luke the same way
New deal Lando
Ain’t no pardon
Kid blew up my boys
Rest in peace Moff Tarkin
Turns out we are family
Embrace your dark fate
Dad and son together, yo No way the emperor’s safe, cause…

[PRINCESS LEIA/ALICIA KEYS] In Star Wars
Now Han Solo’s a coffee table
There’s nothing Luke can do [Vader: Should've joined me, bro!]
He’s on Dagobah
With some dyslexic Jedi dude
Right hand still got sliced through Looks like they struck back, struck back, struck back

[DARTH VADER/JAY-Z]
Lightsabers grinding
Palpatine’s smiling
Cause he knew it would come to this The light side is blind with casualties
Who do evil casually, then gradually become worse
Don’t fight your destiny
Wasn’t a great dad, true
Absent all the while
No happy times behind us, and plus, now I’m killin’ you
Keep fencing mister, ’cause now I sense a sister
You don’t go bad, maybe I’ll enlist her
Now Emperor wants you, only wants me rubbed out You controlled your anger, stayed light side devout Watch out kid, he’s got lightning bolts to immolate Uh-uh, hell no, daddy powers activate
End this prune with a badass murder suicide
Bald headed, mask off, heart melted kid you were right Burn all my gear so those Ewoks can’t wear it again
Do it, I’ll be watching you, a ghost, name of Anakin

[PRINCESS LEIA/ALICIA KEYS] In Star Wars
Destroy new Death Star’s generator
Ewoks to the rescue
Blast through to the core
This Regime’s gonna be brand new
Galactic Empire’s through
The Jedi have returned, returned, returned

Deseret New Marathon.

I entered this only Monday as prior to that, I was uncertain how my achilles would be in its recovery.  Thankfully, injury recovery has have been getting better so I thought I would run, despite less than ideal training, in large part to keep my streak of running DNews since 2003 alive.

I decided I would just go and see how things went, most importantly not pushing to any injury. 

At the start, I held my hands up so I could notice myself in a photo.  It worked (see below).


 1
6:11  Headed out, just following behind Allie.
 2
5:58 12:10Just following Allie, pace was fine.
 3
 6:03 18:14Still behind Allie, I'm using auto-splits which were behind a bit by this point.
 4
 6:17 24:31Miles are going by fast.
 5
 6:52 31:24Holing back a bit, knowing my training has been poor..
 6
 7:14 38:38uneventful
 7
 8:12 46:50Did not labor too much on hills.
 8
 7:39 54:30I think this is the split where the race crests Little Mountain.
 9
 6:26 1:00:57I think this was about the most comfortable mile of the race for me.
 10
 7:02 1:07:59Missed an aide station, as I dropped the power aide in the transition -- perhaps I should have stopped.
 11
 6:47 1:14:46Still feeling alright, despite not much good training at pace.
 12
 6:48 1:21:35Mentally feeling alright, but already not up to holding pace for sub 3:00.
 13
 6:50 1:28:25

Noted half (not Garmin but mile marker) around

Half in 1:29:40 

 14
 7:22 1:35:48Walked this aide station to try to get down more power aide.
 15
 7:15 1:43:03I should have decided to run tough, but decided at this point to not press my luck for injury.
 16
 8:03 1:51:06You can see I'm already taking it way too easy.
 17
 7:30
 1:58:36Letting people pass.
 18
 8:39 2:07:16As I've been slowing dumb idea comes into my head to go ahead and walk this uphill on Foothill rationalizing a nice break and to safeguard the achilles
 19
 7:39 2:14:56I never really get going again.
 20
 8:10 2:23:07Slacking big time
 21
 10:03 2:33:10Major walking break -- what was I doing?
 22
 7:30 2:40:40I've got to learn to keep running even when it doesn't seem to matter.
 23
 9:48 2:50:29Embarrassing.
 24
 9:12 2:59:41Keep justifying my laziness on don't get injured grounds.

26.2

1:07  (6:24 pace)
3:20:05
 All my resting made this part of the run very easy.  I had some left in the tank.

  Overall, glad my achilles held up great.  Pleased no new injury.  First half was decent.  Terrible second, more mental looking back on it now.

 Great to see some of the bloggers!
