4 very easy miles.  I had to get my daughter Taylor to school by 5:50 this morning so no sleeping in for me.  She gets to run in the state track meet at BYU today.  YEAH for her. I actually slept really well until 5:00, so no complaining from me.   I'm getting so nervous for tomorrow.  I'm really feeling like 4 weeks before marathons if too hard to get enough training in.  I just hope it's a good day.  Good Luck to everyone running tomorrow.

I'm still trying to figure out what happened.  This was just not my day.  I completely fell apart at mile 14 and pretty much gave up from there.  

Miles 1-7 I felt great.  I was right on pace and hit mile 7 in 57:36.

I made a POP just after mile 10.  I lost about 1 1/2 minutes, but still felt great.  

I hit the half way point at 1:51:06.  Perfect.  I thought I could for sure get the 3:45 I wanted.

Then a mile later I was done.  I have never wanted to quit so bad in my life.  I mentally just gave up.  I walked, I used the POP many many times and I just didn't care.   

The only thing that kept me going was knowing that Michelle was maybe going to be waiting for me at mile 23 to run in with me.  I was so happy to see her I almost cried.  I can not thank her enough.   She is the best friend ever.     

I'm guessing that my poor performance was a combination of few things.  Maybe I hadn't recovered from Boston.  Maybe I went out faster than I should have.   I did have an upset stomach for many miles.   And I do not like running by myself for so long.  

This was my 10th marathon.  Someday I'll figure this out.
