Race: Top of Utah Marathon (26.2 Miles) 04:52:05
Total Distance
26.20

Oh yeah.  Today I accomplished my goal of running a marathon.  I ran the Top of Utah Marathon here in Logan, UT.  The race was a lot of fun, and the canyon portion of the course was beautiful.  

The weather decided to really hand it to us today.  It rained all night last night and then was pouring right before we started.  Throughout the canyon portion we had downpouring rain and hail off and on.  It was quite an adventure.  

My time wasn't quite where I wanted it, but I am still very proud of it.

Great job on your first marathon. No doubt your second won't have worse conditions, right?

nice job Craig, now you can start training with me for next year. first we have to get through biochemistry though. A lot of people think that is worse than a marathon!

congrats on your first marathon finish, I'll see how well you are walking in class tomorrow.
