4.65 miles.  Trying to decide what shoes to run Ogden in.  My white Crocs have the least amount of miles on them so it might be those.

First time running the Ogden Marathon.  Wow, I wish I would have done this a long time ago, what a terrific race.  Paul (prlman), thank you for making this happen, who knows how much longer I may have put this off.  For about the last 7 or 8 years I've been running the Salt Lake Marathon and had no desire to run another marathon 4 weeks later.  

Now I have a problem, the Salt Lake Marathon is near and dear to my heart but Odgen is a way better marathon course.  I'll probably run Salt Lake as a training run and save my juice for Ogden.

Since I had just poured everything into SL Marathon a few weeks ago, I knew I didn't have it in me to chase a PR.  My approach was to go out easy, a little under 8 minute pace, check myself at the halfway point and then decide to either throw the hammer down or dial it back and enjoy the scenery.  

Halfway I was a few seconds under 1:44 (7:56 pace).  I felt good and decided to push for a negative split.  I barely made it at 1:43:46, negative by 14 seconds.

I'm not nearly as sore today (i'm typing this up Sunday morning) as I usually am after a marathon.  I'm about as sore as I am after a good hard 20 mile training run.  Stairs are no problem.  I don't know if the Ogden course agrees with my body or if I just didn't run hard enough to shred my legs.  Looking back, I don't think I could have run this any faster than I did.

The last two miles were very tough compared to the prior 6.  I love this course. 

222 out of 2385 overall

176 out of 1206 men

22 out of 134 AG  (I raced with under someone else's bib, this is where I would have finish in my AG)
