my friend caitlin fran invited me to spend friday night in springville so that i didnt have to drive down at 3 in morning saturday and then run the utah valley marathon and she was running the half marathon. so it all made sense to be 10 minutes away rather than 45 minutes away. friday i worked all day and caitlin was so nice to pick up my packet that day. i headed down to utah county right after work then we went to dinner with this kid named zac. we went to this mexican restaurant in springville. super good but it was a super bad idea. details come later. i will for sure eat there again just not the night before a race. we all enjoyed our dinner then caitlin and i went to walmart to get our gatorade and bananas. we went back to caitlins house and got ready for bed. 3 hours later we were up and getting our stuff together for the race. caitlin dropped me off at the marathon bus loading area and we said our "see you at the finish line" goodbyes.  i only waited for about 10-20 minutes till i was on a bus riding up to wallsburg where the starting line was waiting for people to cross it. about 30 minutes of waiting. the gun was fired and the clock started. less then 4 hours later i crossed the finish line and this marathon was finally done. shortly after crossing i found caitlin limping towards me. yes caitlin was running on a injured foot. crazy girl. but i would probably do the same thing. actually i did the same thing last year. running on a severely bruised patella. we got to the car and went to kneaders for there endless french toast. so good. you must try if you havent. shortly after eating my tummy rumbling and i was not feeling very good. all day saturday i was feeling like crap. i had some stomach virus going all. i blame it on the mexican food that i ate the previous night mixed with the nasty gu shots i had ate at every hour i was running. bad combo. i couldn't eat anything for the rest of the day. and given that i ran 26.2 miles thats not good to not replenish what i has just burned off. my saturday was spent in my bed watching movies and making many trips to the bathroom. but now that its monday i feel loads better and i am pretty much eating everything in my sight. now i am now half way down with my eventful june. next up ragnar wasatch back which is this weekend.
