Race: Ogden Marathon Relay (7 Miles) 00:48:25
Total Distance
9.00

This was my first race in about 10 years and it felt good to be out there again.  I ran in the relay and was chosen to run the first leg which didn't bother me any because it was downhill.  The weather was great I couldn't expect any better except I feel sorry for those who had to run past mile 7 becuase it started to get really hot. 

My goal was to run 49 min which I achieved so I feel good about that.  My splits were a little off and I wish I could have held a more even split time but overall I'm still happy.  My knee kept hurting off and on throughout the whole thing and my calfs tightened about mile 5.

Our overall time for the relay was 3:07, in the end it was a fun day.

Great job getting back into the racing scene. Your splits are more even than you think. The mile 1 marker was at 0.9 and mile 3 was 1.1 miles.

Good work! Congratulations on meeting your goal. Being able to run 7:00 pace for 7 miles with as little training as you did prior shows you have quite a bit of natural ability. I think in a year of proper training you will be able to run a sub-3:00 marathon.
