Good run this morning. I did 6 miles up to Cholla Creek and then found a dirt road at the end of the subdivision that takes you back up to the highway, so kind of nice to find a new running route. When I got home my sunburn turned to blisters it was really crazy, just a bunch of small blisters.
Went over to St. George this afternoon and bought a new pair of Asics Speedstars size 9.5. I really wanted size 9, but they didn't have any. I also bought a pair of compression socks, so I'm excited to see how they work and if they will help at all with cramping. | |

Good run this morning. Met at Mike's and ran 5 miles up past the ranger station in Snow Canyon State Park. Bill, Scott, and me took it easy going up averaged right at 8:00. Mike was a little faster. On the way back down I did a tempo and felt really good.
1-5:48
2-6:02
3-6:05
4-6:15
5-6:01
I was hoping to break 30:00 but ended with 30:14 (6:03 average)
This was a good workout, especially since I haven't done any speed in about a week and a half. |

| La Verkin Loop this morning, just an easy 3 miles, then did a 10 minute ice bath when I got home. Weight is at 157, so using my formula that puts me in the 2:57 marathon range, which is about the shape I feel in right now, so we will see. |

Well, this race didn't turn out like I was hoping. My training has been better than last year at this time and I really figured I could at least break 3 hours. I didn't feel very good when I got up and felt even worse after I had some oatmeal for breakfast and a bananna. I met up with everyone and caught the bus up to the start. I didn't feel very good on the ride up, and was a little concerned about the stomach issues. Everything else felt ok, not great though. PF and hip pain still bothering.
1-7:17- slow start, but that was ok
2-6:28
3-6:33
4-7:07 bathroom stop
5-6:21
6-6:28- feeling like I'm getting into a good rhythm
7-6:37
8-7:10 some uphill here
9-7:17 more uphill, stopped to throw-up
10-6:47
11-6:35
12-6:55- PF starting to act up
13-6:49
Half 1:29
14-6:59
15-7:46- more stomach issues
16-7:08
17-7:19
18-7:19
19-9:12- another stop to throw up, too bad nothing in the stomach
20-7:15
21-7:45
22-8:43- struggling..struggling
23-10:42- some power walking with over-weight half marathon women finishers
24-13:06- still struggling..stop again to puke, and sat down to stretch for a bit
25-8:55 decide to try to push through the pain
26-7:37 gave myself a pep talk and ran a little better this last mile.
.2- :32
I was happy with the first half and a few of the miles down the canyon. I fell apart pretty bad around mile 21, but was able to make it to the finish.
I've really been struggling with marathons the last few years. I have lots of doubts and really need to do something to boost my confidence, (maybe training more might help.) I would really like to improve my PR at the half marathon distance, so that might be more of my focus for the near future.
After the race, I was still feeling pretty sick. I ended up vomiting 4 more times at the race and then a few more times back at the hotel. I was a little concerned the last time, because it looked like some blood coming up. Anyway, my dad and brother in law gave me a blessing which I was grateful for. I slept most of the way home, and seem to be feeling better now. I was able to eat some some soup and a little bit of chicken and things are starting to feel a little better.
Anyway, to wrap things up. Still a fun weekend. It was nice to spend some time with my parents and my sister and her family. She did great for her second marathon 4:25. I was also happy to see a lot of the guys from the race team and blog run good races.
This is a nice course, but I'm not sure I will be back next year for the full, maybe the half. |
