The race went well for me considering I had not put in as much training as I have for past marathons. Ran with my training partner to the half way point then left him in search of a better time.

Took the holiday weekend a little serious and did not run at all. So in spite of waking a little bit late went out for an approximately four mile loop from my house.
I live about 1 mile from the Jordan River Parkway, so most of my miles are done on the parkway near 7200 south. This morning I saw two mule deer hiding in the bushes near the water treatment plant at 7300 south.

Another nice morning on the parkway. The temperature seemed to be higher today. Because there were no deer close to the trail I resorted to bird watching.
I have decided quail have to be the funniest birds, a little bit like runners, thought they have the capability to fly they seem to prefer to run. Not the most efficient little guys, but they sure seem to work hard.
Did see a very pretty Red Winged Blackbird.

Didn't get near enough sleep last night. Then to top it off the rainstorm woke me at 4:00. I thought to myself that if it was raining that bad at 5:00 when the alarm went off I would push snooze and skip the run. So dreaming of a skipped run I went back to sleep. Sadly for me when I woke at 5:00 it was pretty clear and wasn't raining at all. So I dragged myself out of bed and proceeded to have a long slow run.

Wow, It is amazing how cool it is in the morning. I felt like I needed gloves at the start. Hard to believe it is June in Utah. There was actually fog lifting off the river this morning. Speaking of the river it is the highest it has been all year.

Come on everybody sing along with me:
"Hold your head up, aah, hold your head up, aah, hold your head high."
What an interesting run. I started off on my twenty miler thinking about everyone running UVM and the Wahsatch Steeplechase and hoped for their sakes that the weather held. It turned out to be okay where I was until about 9:00.
As I started I turned on the mp3 player and headed out. The problem is the mp3 player did not start. So about twenty minutes in I finally got it going, or thought I did. Then after about a mile and half i started wondering why I was hearing the same song again. It turns out the mp3 player got stuck on a single song loop. Needless to say after about two hours of Argent - Hold Your Head Up, I will not be listening to that song for a while.

Great run with Teena.
I was trying to be the brakes on the little engine that could. Teena is amazing she has so much energy and drive. It makes me realize how far I have to go to actually push myself to get better.
Thanks for the run Teena!

Nice Day.
Learned just how sly mule deer can be today. There was a mule deer standing on the trail watching me until I was about 100 yards from her she then left the trail and I was sure I would see her when I ran past, but she was gone, vanished. I never did see her again.

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.

Decided to run a little further this morning to make up for the running miles I missed last week at Trek. We walked about 25 miles over the course of four days at Trek, but it was amazing how many people got injured. I made it through fine, it was hot but it was a good experience (although one I should not have had AGAIN if Teena had not dropped out).
Today's run was good. Felt nice to get out and run.

Could there be any more construction on the JRP? ran to 7800 South and the parkway and now there is construction on both the South and North side. Ended up running Teena's favorite route through old Midvale. Lovely area at 6:00 in the morning. (Hill 3x)

What a great day for a race. Great temperature.
Rode to the start of the race with Paul and Teena. Met many of you from the blog which was nice. However, I spent too much time visiting and not enough waiting in line for the potty. This meant that I was still in line as the race started. I was not worried knowing that the chip timing is what mattered. It was still difficult to see the masses start and go. When I finally got started I had a good race, but not a great one. The splits and comments were as follows:

Resting. Ran six yesterday and felt okay after the marathon.
I want to thank everyone on the blog and Sasha for this resource, however, this will be my last post. I have decided not to continue to use the blog.
I am grateful for everyone's encouragement and the friends that I have made. I believe that this blog can really help those who want to improve accomplish that if they will take advice and listen. I also believe that because runners are so competitive, especially those willing to submit to 26.2 miles of pain, those on the blog need to pay better attention to their personal needs.
I know that my body has been able to take alot of pounding and miles. However, I continue to see those on the blog who are hurt or injured. I believe that some of this is the pressure felt from the blog. Everyone needs to realize that there are limitations and everyone's limitations are different.
I would encourage anyone to use the blog to improve, but would caution them not to use the blog as a competition. Build at your own pace and don't make unhealthy comparisons. I personally can look at Sasha's time with wonder and awe. I am sure that I will never be able to achieve what he can. I know that part of that is my inablility to dedicate myself like he has. However, some of it is pure genetics and I will never be able to compete at that level because of that either. (And believe me I am okay with that.) I still can look at those who can and marvel and applaud.
Again, I thank Sasha for his time and resources, and those who have befriended me and helped to encourage me. I look forward to seeing you on the trail and at races.
Good Luck and Run Healthy. | |
