Utah Valley Marathon (June 13, 2009) - about a week and a half before the marathon, Keyan's father asked him to run with him. Everyone at his work was doing it and of course Keyan said yes. They had this run then walk schedule worked out for it. Keyan went 18 miles the Saturday before the marathon. That is the farthest he had ever gone. He was excited for the marathon. The people he was with were planning on a 10.5 minute mile pace. About half way through Keyan left them and decided he was going to try for a 4 hour marathon (which in about a 9 min. mile pace). So he went from 10.5 minute miles to sub 9 minute miles to finish at 4:02:06. Crazy, huh?!!!
