Cooldown to find the little girls

Turkey Day 5k Boise

This was the second time I've done St. George and my 10th marathon overall. St. George is my favorite marathon I've done so far -- easy downhill course, great views, excellent aid stations, and lots of cheering spectators. I hurt my foot 3 weeks before the race, so I didn't run much in the last 3 weeks. I thought I'd probably have to walk, but I started at a slow pace and that seemed to warm my foot up. I also wore a foot brace and took 2 ibuprofen before starting and another 2 around mile 12. I began to pick it up after 2.5 miles and eased into it. By the half mark I was going near full speed and I went fast off and on. However, I had to slow down a few times and adjust my gait a bit, especially after mile ~16 when my foot started hurting. Fortunately I was able to run the whole thing, before the race I thought there was a good chance I'd need to walk.
