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.

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/ |

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. |

20 minutes better than my previous best (Logan last September) so I'm happy with my result. Now my calves hurt ... and my feet, and my thighs, and my knees, and my ankles, and my ass. All the downhill running wasn't as bad as some people had said it would be except that a couple miles from the bottom of the canyon my back started hurting a bit, but that went away when the course leveled out. All in all, it was a pretty cool marathon. Y'all should try it some time. |

Nice work chicken.
How many marathons does this make for you? 20 minutes is a huge improvement, any way you look at it. |
