Lewis and Clark Marathon

Lewis and Clark Marathon this morning. Went to bed early but tossed and turned for a while, had to get up at 4am so that I could loosen up, go to the bathroom and get to the starting line. They wanted us there at 5:45, we got there shortly after that. At 6:15 we got in line for the bathrooms, and we were ready to go at the 6:45 starting time. But things were delayed a bit and things got going right at 7am instead. Was planning on walking the 7th, 13th, 18th and 22nd mile, stuck to that plan more or less, hitting the lap to kick off a new lap for each walking time. I was planning on running closer to a 11 min/mile pace, but every time I checked my pace I was closer to 10 min/mile pace, but my heart rate (when the monitor was working) was below 160 so I wasn't too concerned. Ended up running 22.2 miles (22.74 according to the garmin) in 3:52:02, while walking 4 miles in 56:57, avg running pace of 10:27, avg walking pace of 14:14, total time of 4:48:56, 11:02 overall pace. Best mile was 9:36, avg heart rate while running was 156. Best Marathon by 3.5 minutes... with walking 4 of the miles, heh. Right now I feel pretty good, worn out, but not excessively so. I plan on running Tuesday, so we'll see how I feel then.
