Mile 1-2 easy run
Mile 3 - got to put some work in
Mile 6 - Hi Lanson! Meet Hally who is also in her 12th marathon. We talk till Mille 11 when she fell slightly behind and then soon passed me.
Mile 11 - Met Harrison? and Nathan and we talk till mile 15
Mile 15 - Low point. Quads feel sore and pace drops
Mile 16 - Yay, 16 miles. Only an hour more to go. I could do an hour. Few minutes later I realize that I made the same math error as my first marathon.
Mile 17 - Notice my steps are more towards heel than toe. Start focusing on the elastic return part of form.
Mile 20 - High Point - I get into my happy place. Pace returns and I try encourage other runners as I pass.
Mile 22 - I start using jelly beans. Pretend they are senzu beans. Pass Harrison and Nathan yelling golden corral.
Mile 23 - I slow down to get water and I find my left calf has a slight cramp. Run or cramp it is!
Mile 24 - As happy place wears off I try to phase out but doesn't work. Focus on form till I'm ready to kick. I practice sprint breathing.
Mile 25 - Start to pick up the pace.
Mile 25.5 - A woman named Cathy gets someone to run the last bit with her. I pretend the encourages are towards me.
26 - All out sprint.
26.21 - Medic staff watches me but I'm fine, whew!
26.3 - Meet Michael and Lanson!
26.4 - Find the barrels of cholocate milk and in a few minutes, 6 cartons are done.
