After two days off in a row I expected to feel totally refreshed but no such luck. Was able to pick up the pace after the first couple of miles.

Ran for a bit with Steve W and his work buddy Pablo. Stopped and talked with Teena. It sure is hard to start back up after stopping for a few minutes.

So I went to Google Earth yesterday to check the mileage of my runs and was sorely disappointed that they are all shorter than I thought. Because of this my mileage total is slightly down and my average per mile is slightly up.

Pushed and pulled a handcart in the heat of the day for 3.5 miles.

Thanks Teena. If you wouldn't have quit...

Not as rested as I thought I might be. It's because I had to go on Trek for Teena.

See Paul Van Komen's report. (He had the splits as I ran with him the whole way. Thanks Paul for the encouragement at the end)

No, really as I look back I can not decide what went wrong the last part of the marathon. I thought I had trained enough to hold an 8 to 8:15 minute pace at the end but I crashed. The worst part is I am more sore than I have been for the past 10 - 15 marathons.

I do feel good that I kept running but wonder if one walk earlier might have made a difference. Will just have to chalk this race up to experience and set ou to do better (much better) at St. George.

Wanted to run today since I will be gone on Pioneer Trek the rest of the week. I feel much better after a few days off following the marathon. The run was good, I was really stiff and sore at first, but loosened up and felt better the last part of the run. The trail i run on was actually closed for construction and it was almost the excuse I was looking for to just go home, but stuck it out and was glad I did when all was said and done.
