LOCATION: Millersylvania State Park, near Olympia, Washington
At first I had not intention of running the Valentine Marathon, but as I started to step up my training for Pacific Rim, I decided to make the trip up north. I drove to Millersyvalnia State Park near Olympia. In 2007, I did the race with Tim 
Lawson, but this time around, I did the marathon alone.
The race started at 10pm, so I was able to make the 2 hour drrive on race morning. I left my house about 7am and arrive at about 9am. I ran into a few of my Maniac friends and then decided to take a half hour early start.

At 9:30am I was off and running. I don't remember a whole lot about this race, but I do remember the weather was pretty good. I going pretty good at first and was waiting to settle into a groove, but for some reason I never really got into a rythmn.
As I approached the last few miles, I was pushing hard to break four hours. I ended up running a 3:51:30, which was nice. I hung around and had some post race food and watched a few of my Maniac friends finish before I took off.
