| What a wet and cold mess I was the whole way. I wore my light windbreaker over my tech shirt and shorts. I wasn't planning on anything special today, just a nice, supported way to get another marathon in the books on the way to my goal. I took it really easy as I don't have enough miles in yet this year to attack a marathon. I will do that in the fall. I took a walk break at a couple aid stations and a bathroom break at mile 11. Coming down the canyon I was feeling pretty good because I hadn't pushed. After I took my last gel and got a drink at mile 21 I decided that I had had enough of this wet nonsense and decided to try to pick it up for the last 5 miles. I was pleasantly surprised when I kept all the last 5 under 7:30 and must have passed 100 people. When I got back to the hotel I was amazed at how heavy my very few articles of clothing were. When I got home I weighed just my shorts, shirt, windbreaker, and socks......4.1 pounds of mostly water!!!
I have another marathon in 3 weeks and after today I think I am on the right track. Marathon #97 is officially in the books!

| No run this morning. I needed to leave for Rexburg at 5:00am to uninstall the POS registers for a new counter to be installed. Then I had to re-install them so we could open in time. | | Add Comment |

| I have been having "issues" with my Garmin all week. I got water inside it last week at Ogden..go figure. I have had problems getting it to turn on unless I do a hard re-boot once or twice. I got it to turn on this morning and put it outside as per usual. When I went back out the screen was blank and I couldn't get it to turn on at all. I guess I was going to do my long run without it. It was 39 degrees at the top of Buckskin with calm winds. 4 of us went up, but I was the only 1 going longer than 14 so I would be on my own. Luckily, we were running the marathon route so I knew where the mile splits were. I left Barry and Allison in Inkom and kept going towards Pocatello. Sue picked me up at the freeway exit by Century so I was at least .25 past the 20 mile mark so I will call it 20.25. I guess I will be looking for a new Garmin today.... At least I got 7 years out of this one!
