Back to Running After Back Injury - Milwaukee Marathon 4:27:53

Well since 13 June 2012 I haven't run a lick.  I've really been down in the dumps and suffering with a bad back injury, but over the past two weeks I got it back together and was able to finish a marathon even though it was really slow.  It broke my heart to have to sit out the Woodstock 50 Miler and North Coast 24 Hour races; I hate wasting money, not to mention not to be able to run.  I'll give another shot at an ultra on 27 Oct when I try to go 50 flat pavement miles with little training (11 hour cut off time).  My splits for the marathon were:
10:59
12:06
9:56
10:06
9:47
10:00
9:50
9:59
10:44
10:09
11:45
11:07
10:30
10:23
10:26
10:23
9:57
10:20
10:07
10:11
9:46
10:07
10:03
9:57
8:48
8:18
3:37
Garmin Data 26.4 mi in 4:29:24 ave 10:11 pace.  Chip time was 4:27:53

The course was beautiful.  I placed 1361 out of 2112.
