Set out early on the Phoenix Marathon course right outside the inlaws neighborhood and had to make a modification to reach a bathroom at the halfway point of the run. The run started off with temps in the upper 50's and ended probably around 70 degrees before reaching mid 80s by mid day. Overall it was a tough course that had very long uphills and downhills which I'm not very used to anymore living in the rolling hills area of KC. This run ended up being a 7:30/mi average which is not bad running on my own and not really hydrated or consumed the appropriate food to run fast on Friday. Ran 5 miles at 7:19 or faster which is pretty good on my own for a long run. After the run I hit the shower and was off to the Zoo with the family.
