The start of the Utah Valley Marathon. I finished with a chip time of 4:05:49, and I got a negative split (meaning the second half of my marathon was faster than the first half). The last few miles were dang hard, but I'm glad I did it, and I'm happy with the result.

I'm running the Utah Valley Marathon tomorrow morning. It'll be my first full marathon, and I need to wake up at 2:30am tomorrow morning to get there on time. I've been pretty good keeping up on my training plan, so I'm pretty confident that I'll make the distance, but not sure about time. I'd like to be under 4 hours 20 minutes, but I'm going to go based on feel / heart rate, and I don't plan to stay with a pacer, so I'm not really sure what my time will be.
