| I had a blast running the Little Rockers Kids Marathon with my oldest son, Max. I'm really proud of him, mainly for putting up with my coaching, and we ran steady and progressively faster for a strong finish.
Nice walk in the River Market later in the afternoon.

Little Rock Marathon (26.22 Miles) 02:49:06, Place overall: 4, Place in age division: 2 | | Easy Miles | Marathon Pace Miles | Threshold Miles | VO2 Max Miles | Total Distance | | 2.78 | 26.22 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 29.00 |
| Yesterday afternoon, two hours before the expo closed, I registered for one of the few remaining spots in the Little Rock Marathon.
This was my first marathon and first road race (other than a couple company-sponsored 5Ks) since the 2013 Boston Marathon.
On a beautiful morning near 45 degrees at the start, I ran comfortably and consistently, averaging a 6:17 pace through the half and a 6:27 pace for the entire race. Miles 21-24 back toward downtown were into a pretty strong headwind along the Arkansas River, and my pace was affected.
I really enjoyed myself out there today...no pressure and no expectations...it was fun. And fun is exactly what I needed. Despite being only three weeks removed from my ninth place finish at the Black Canyons 100K, I'm really glad I made the decision to run today. Maybe it was Max's strong finish at the Kids Marathon yesterday that inspired me!
Finally, I have to thank my wife, Diana, who supported my crazy notion to run today's race on a whim. It was awesome to see her and my youngest, Evan, just past Mile 15 at the highest point on the course (and only 1.5 Miles from our house).
