PM- 2 miles at marathon effort then 1.5 mile easy cooldown Average pace 6:51. It really is hard to believe that in less than 48 hours I will be running my first marathon. Although a major goal of mine is a boston qualifier, I just want to enjoy the moment of running my first marathon and learn from it. I know that I cannot predict the exact outcome of the race, but I am going to give my best effort, and most importantly have fun and be safe on the roads. For everyone running the Ogden Marathon this weekend I will see you all out there on the roads Saturday. Best of luck to everyone!!!

RACE DAY: OGDEN MARATHON

Wow my first marathon!!! It was quite the experience to say the least. Probably won't be able to walk for a day or two haha!!! Didn't sleep very good last night, just cause of nerves and such. Woke up at 3:30 cause I had to catch the bus by 5:00. Carbed up on  some bagels and bananas. Tried to hydrate really good as well. Gun goes off and we were off on our long 26.2 mile journey. Was feeling really good, but probably went out way too fast for the first half. Came through in 1:26:12. haha. Kept going and got water at every aid station I could, and used my honey stinger at mile 18 or so. Was still going strong up to about mile 23 or so, and then my body just hit a wall. I don't believe it was the total wall that runners hit in the marathon, but my blood sugars just dropped considerably in the last 3 miles or so. Really didn't know what to think after that. I just wanted the race to be over. I was in a lot of pain at this point in the race. I had blisters and my blood sugar was probably in the 40s. I just gave everything that I had up to the finish. Came in with a 3:09:44. Was pretty close to a Boston Qualifier, and I know I could have got it if my blood sugar hadn't gone so low. I definitely like half marathons better, just because they don't put such a strain on the body. Overall a great experience and now I can say that I have run a marathon. Don't know when or if I will do one in the near future, but I am glad that I got to experience the Ogden Marathon this year. I want to thank the city of Ogden for putting up a great event, and for all the volunteers that helped the runners along the way. Great event and experience overall
