Late afternoon - looped the river twice from work. Once  to Sunnyside and then to Panchari.  Cool with a gusty north breeze. GPS was dead so I assume about an 8:00 pace.  Like with the last long run, I did not feel great after a few miles and it lingered for the rest of the night.

Noon river run.  Picked up the pace to a 7:05 after the 1st mile (8:04) - good suggestion Jeff!  Nice day Temp around 50f and no wind!  Not sure I am ready to run Ogden Saturday, but it should be a great weather day to try.

I thought that during taper month it was no running at all...I am in trouble!

After dinner on Saturday, you should come see me finish.

From Dan S on Tue, May 13, 2014 at 15:12:34 from 141.221.191.225

Taper month - Hmmm I think I have been doing this wrong.

Does it include extra desserts too?

All that rest should make for a strong finish.

From JFogg on Tue, May 13, 2014 at 15:14:43 from 141.221.191.225

You do have to carb load with desserts....at least 6 weeks out.

I don't know about a "strong" finish, but it will be a "quick" finish. Just not sure "where" I will finish.

From Dan S on Tue, May 13, 2014 at 16:45:14 from 141.221.191.225

Good work. I am only 5 miles away from you today. Not bad.

Thanks gents, looking forward to the run

I am feeling very confident about the first 5 miles - then not so much....

I had a great time at the Ogden Marathon.  I did not train as well as I would have liked, but was pleased with the finish and, except for wobbly legs, felt pretty good afterwards.  I have not replaced my drowned GPS and the fastest pacer was a little under my goal at a 3:35 finish.   Fortunately, nearly everyone else seems to have a GPS now so I periodically asked runners around me what pace they were on to stay around a 3:30 time.  Perfect weather.

 

Once again Ogden did an outstanding job of putting on a race and I get to go back to Boston-one of the advantages of being old....
