Quick recap. I ran the first 20 miles with Spencer Evensen, an awesome kid that ran for UVU. I ran with him during most of hobble creek too. It was great to find him at the start and hear that we had similar goals. He was a huge help. I got a little nervous when we ran veyo much faster than I had planned, thinking I would pay dearly for it later. I shared my bottles with him and we really made a great team. He talked me through a nasty side ache at 16. We ran the first 20 miles together. He ran a great time for his first marathon (2:42)! My legs started to get a little tight around 22. I just kept it going thinking that I would push as long as I could. I thought I would hit the wall but it never happened :). I passed Clyde at 24ish and Pepe with a mile to go. I accomplished everything I wanted to do today! Still can't believe it :). Most grateful.
