OGDEN HALF MARATHON
Felt pretty good going into this race better than what I have felt in about a year but by mile 2 I felt forced and really never felt like I was ever going to pickup speed which is frustrating but just stayed at MP the whole time. Enjoyed the race. Loved seeing a lot of friends. Cool course. Happy for who ran well and hot for a lot of people thst grinded it out to finish. Glad I could run this one.

Pretty uneventful run for me but good MP miles.
I guess I' need to start training because that run felt like a run. Not a race. I also am going to be more dedicated towards my nutrition. I felt this whole run was just a comfortable pace the whole time. Never wanted to really get going. By mile 2 I knew I was not going to get going and decided to just maintain an MP effort. I'm really disappointed in my speed right now. I don't have any speed and it starts with my nutrition. Too much popcorn and candy. I'll discipline muskeg better and look forward to feeling lighter and stronger. I only looked at my watch once during this run and it was during the first mile. Once I saw I was at a 6:21 first split and it wasn't feeling right I knew I just needed to go off feel the rest of the time and try to enjoy the miles as much as possible.
I really enjoyed seeing everyone at this event. So many great performances by many good runners. Fritz is a machine. Devra looked plain awesome! Congrats to Shep, Bryant, Justin and Jace. All ran a tough race. On the half side Ben, Brett and Matt looked great. Lots of tough women today dueling it out. Enjoyed seeing Amy, Angie, Josse, Sariah, Rosey, Emily, Bethany, Mel and many more after. So many cool people in the running community. Even young men like Curtis, Steve and Puset all had great performances. It was hot today.
