Total Distance
4.25

Pretty sore today from two runs down Emigration in two days. Put on my compression gear and did some loops of liberty park. Then Allie and I hiked up Mt Wire. (We were going to be more ambitious but we were scared off by thunderstorms)

Also, I signed up for the TOU marathon...

I'm definitely not in killer shape at the moment, but my last two 20 milers have shown me that I can comfortably make it through the distance without falling apart.

Main reasons for doing TOU are

-1. To get some more experience with the marathon. I like to learn a little bit from all of my races, and I really wasn't sure what to make of Des News.

-2. To maybe win some money. Don't know who will be there (Paul, Sasha, Kenyans and ???) but money may be nice.

-3. To get another Utah marathon under my belt. I don't know how much longer I'm going to live here and I wanted to do Des News, TOU and Ogden before leaving.

Supplemental reason-

Maybe I can PR. I will probably run pretty conservatively, but I will try to put myself in position to PR and go sub 2:30. I honestly don't know how my body will react though.

TOU! yay! have i ever told you how great this race is?

i don't think we should ever hike again. my hair got tangled and i felt sticky and gross. plus, there were bugs on the trail and my feet got dusty. ew.

Yeah, you've had some intense runs! I think there will be a lot of bloggers at TOU. I signed up about 2 weeks ago, but won't pose a threat to 2:30. I'm shooting for the 2:50 range.

Where are you thinkin of moving? I may bail when my wife graduates(about 2 to 3 years from now) and am thinking about doing the Wasatch 100 before I go. Just seems like one of those things you gotta do before you leave...plus the finish line is 3 miles from my house.:)

It will basically be wherever I can find a good job. I would like to stay though.

TOU!!!

Love the course (haven't done the marathon, but I ran the half and drove the full) ... reason #4.5 if it is good enough for allie it is good enough for you ;-)

From Jake K on Wed, Sep 07, 2011 at 15:10:25 from 155.100.226.53

Seems like you've been clicking off some nice long runs (especially right after racing)... might as well ride the fitness wave!

TOU seems like an awesome course. Its definitely on my short list of races to run, especially after running the half.
