13.1 in 2 hours 5 minutes...with a potty break

Poor Blistered Feet! I had a blister early on in training...I thought those days were gone. I shouldve gotten new socks like I wanted to.
Hey...That guy is talking to us. I really wanted to throw up at this point


Using the rest of the energy I had to pick up a little speed to cross the finish line
Happy it's over!

Mile 1. 9.24 minute/mile Couldn't really get going it was too crowded. We jogged at a steady pace, and watched and listened to the foot steps all around you

Mile 2.We were passing up all sorts of people running including a reggae band on the sidewalk then.....Potty Break 3 hour minute/mile

Mile 3. 7.24 minute/mile We were booking!!!!! It felt so good.

Mile 4. 8.27 minute/mile saw Julianne Smith...a dear old friend:)

Mile 5. 9.30 minute/mile first uphill...not too bad
Mile 6. 8.50 minute/mile...gotta love the Gatorade at the aid stations and some guy was cooking bacon in his front yard for the runners...no thanks!

Mile 7. 8.42 Minute/mile Hi to Jill and Lonny Jacobs at Movies 10 in Sugarhouse. We loved sugarhouse. It was so beautiful.

Mile 8. 8.29 minute/mile Early onset of the dreaded toe blisters. Legs getting sore. Power bar in my pocket doesn't give much aid to my lack of energy. Every time I looked at Annie she looks like she is going for a stroll around the block...she was awesome!

Mile 9 9.15 minute/mile Stopped and stretched at Liberty Park, the blisters are in full burning effect so my feet have been running crooked resulting major pain in hips and knees

Mile 10 9.15 minute/mile Using muscles that I didn't know I had, the sun was beating down on our backs. Annie still enjoying her jog and the scenery

Mile 11 9.37 minute/mile. Blisters...what blisters....

Mile 12 10.30 minute/mile "This hill SUCKS!" up 200 East to South Temple

Mile13.1 9.22 minute/mile. Pretty good for wanting to throw up and having no juice left in my legs.

I love Annie and I am so glad she came to do this with me, even though she did make me have a 5 minute potty break, it wouldn't be the same with out her! Memories for a lifetime Part II.
