Marathon on Saturday
 
I'm already feeling butterflies in my stomach and pooing alot.

Just pray you'll be able to poo Saturday morning before you start running.

I'm dreading it. My training has been pathetic. Thank goodness there's no uphill.

One of the reasons for the butterflies.

Good luck to you all. You are much tougher than I may ever be.

I am running the hardest 10k I know on saturday, which should be awesome. It is fun to see marines sucking wind as I pass them. http://y-events.com/mwtc/

That hill right before Pineview is no cake walk.

When I ran Ogden, it was the canyon that beat me up.

A word of advice: Don't taunt wind-sucking marines.

I procrastinated to long and didn't get in the half. But I get a call today from a girl in my ward and her sisters friend dislocated her knee and can't run it and they want to see if they can transfer me over for her, I still signed up for the 5K.

But I'm a little nervous, I really haven't been training for the half the past couple weeks and I have been just been thinking about the 5K. I guess I will find out tomorrow.

Good luck guys. May your legs be fast and your bowels be slow.

Well I didn't get in the half of course. I had a feeling they wouldn't transfer me. But I ran the 5K and I ran it at 25:27. I thought I was going a lot slower which I guess is good. But when I got close to the finish line and saw my time I was pretty happy. Not to bad after having to take 2 weeks off from my hamstring injury and then having no time to run during finals.

I'm for sure going to sign up for the half next year. No more procrastinating.
