I was feeling a lot of pain in my back and my thigh about 10 days ago and had only run once since then (tuesday), but I was feeling pretty good this morning before the half, but then about a mile in, I started cramping up in my calf. I kept going and after a couple more miles, the cramping was gone and I started speeding back up again. I felt great and passed some few people up until about the 12 mile mark, then my right foot (same spot where I had the tendinitis a while back) started hurting quite a bit, then about a half mile later, my thigh started hurting, but I pushed through and finished at 2:19:46, which I am happy with, considering the problems I had, plus it was just 5 minutes more than my Provo River half that was nearly all downhill.
