A 10 day delay in posting my race report is indicative of my lackadaisical attitude toward running. I still enjoy running but have no motivation to focus on it. Maybe this is a more rounded and healthier way to live anyway? I enjoyed seeing Tina, Smooth (and Larry), Brad, RAD, Kelli, Mel, and other bloggers who I don't even know their names. And I enjoyed the marathon! I started slow and finished slower. I was still tired by the end of the race but not spent or miserable. I finished thirsty and should have taken more fluids but I hate having to stop to pee.... After finishing I downed a bunch of chocolate milk and overly colorful cold drinks. Then I was ready to drive home and take a nap, and that is just what I did. No recovery needed for this race. I didn't even walk down the stairs funny on Sunday or Monday. My time was 3:40:03, about 12 minute slower than last time I ran Park City and the Slam. Now..... should I plan and train for St. George or just cruise??????? |
