Race: Beaver Canyon Marathon (26.219 Miles) 03:30:24

I paced the Beaver Canyon Marathon today. This is the first year of the race and there were 270 people. The course is beautiful. This is definitely Beaver's kept secret. The road coming down from Eagle Point Resort is very deep between the mountain sides. The course had an overall drop of almost 4800 feet too, which I have never come even close to before. Writing this two nights later, my legs are still completely chewed up. I may go through this entire week without attempting to run. I missed my pace time by 24 seconds unfortunately.

Just a little bit of running in the afternoon. It actually was with Ellie in the stroller. We went to Albertsons to get some ice cream for our Monday night tradition (homemade pizza and ice cream). It was the first time in over a year that I've run with Ellie. She is getting too big for the stroller but we still had fun.

Slow easy run on the treadmill. My energy levels are very low right now.

Still feeling tired. I have been supplementing with iron for about 2 weeks now. The doctor at work needs me to get my hematocrit, WBC, and hemoglobin up. This has been a long post-marathon recovery, but without injury!

Felt even better today. I kept ramping up the speed on the treadmill today and I'm pretty happy with where I finished.

I have been feeling better every day. I'm starting to wonder if low iron has been plaguing me for awhile...

I was about 3 minutes into this run before I realized I had accidently left it at 8mph, faster than I would go on a planned "easy run". I felt pretty good so I just left it there. 90 minutes later, I was surprised how good I felt. Definitely going to keep taking iron. The doctor says I still need to go see a hematologist to see if I have a genetic predisposition to anemia.

Wednesday night at 5:30pm I started getting the chills. By the time I went to bed around 9pm I was shaking uncontrollably and starting to feel warm. Slept terribly. Felt completely fine by 6am yesterday! That was quite a trip!

Treadmill. Was going to go farther, but got a suspicious twinge in my shin. Have I finally learned when to stop?

Treadmill. Very relaxed effort, but still kind of tired from yesterday. Had my blood drawn for testing for the 6th time this year yesterday...

Easy 90 minutes with a fast finish. Besides being a little tired, it's been a good 3 days of running so far.

6 at estimated marathon pace, with a fast finish. Still getting used to this again. I also have this weird discomfort in my right shoulder area whenever I breathe in deeply or lay down.

Treadmill. Watched part of the Ted Bundy documentary on Netflix. Quite terrifying.
