Going to keep it short and sweet.  Goal when I signed up was to just finish it.  So during my training wasn't to sure of what I was going to be able to do.  And then race day what that would bring.  Stuck with training for a 3:30 for the most part.  But struggled with things the last 2 months.  Missed about 2 weeks of training here and there.  So cofidence wasn't the best for it.  And been dealing with a shin splint or stress fracture.

Temps were going to be hot again this year.  So plan was to make it as bearable as possible.  Started early on walking through the aid stations making sure I was getting everything I needed.  Leg was giving my grief from around mile 2 on.  Blister on the other foot started at about 7 going up veyo.  Tight shoulders at around mile 5.  I felt I was falling apart and just tried to relax.  Mile 15 met up with another runner and ran together till the finish.  He was suffering with a hammy issue.  We just ran downhill and flats.  Walked the hills and rested when we needed too.  I am happy I didn't have to much heat issues really and hydrated well I feel under the contitions.  Only started having issues with my stomach around 22 but just walked through it.

Had a great bike ride with the wife.  Legs felt pretty good during and after the ride.  Legs are recovering well.  Walked about a mile or so at work too.  Which helped with the soreness too.  We were going for 45 mins.  Ended up not hitting that.  With a headwind going out and tail coming back speeds were like 13 and 20.  MrsFit is getting stronger and faster.

Ran and walked some with the wife at the gym.  Legs felt a bit sore and my left leg was still giving me grief.  Getting a bit frustrated with it.  Trying to be patient.

Went for a ride with MrsFit.  Figured it might be one of the last ones for a bit.  Rode down by the temple and had a flat.  Had a few small issues with it.  But got it taken care of.  MrsFit was feeling good and no issues with her head.  So it was all good.

45 mins or so.

Went for a run after work. Was in the 50s barely so broke out some warmer clothes to wear on the run. Figured I was going to go a bit slower so dressed a bit warmer. And there was a cold North wind. As I started the run I ran into the wind so the wind breaker was great. To my suprise though. The first mile was alot faster then I thought it would be. With the wind and not running much since the marathon. Did the 4 mile loop with the hill on the 2nd mile and downhill on the 4th. Still had a headwind for the hill mile and came out under 9 min pace which again was suprising. I tried to keep a even pace. By the 2.5 mark though my lower back was tighting up so I tried relaxing it a bit more. Stretched it out at the end of the mile for a few secs. And finished up the last mile downhill. Overall I am happy with the run. And suprised by the end result. Not to happy about the back getting sore though. Felt ok the next morning though.
