We spent the night up in Smithfield, which was really nice because it meant not getting in the car after the race / award ceremony. Slept in and once we woke up, Andrea and I went for about a one-hour walk. I usually go for a short jog the morning after a marathon, but today I just felt like walking. Andrea noticed that I seemed more content with this race than after most others. I definitely feel that way.

The drive back to SLC was broken up w/ 2 games of bowling, a game of mini-golf, and 4 rounds in the batting cage. Excellent cross training :-) 

Before dinner we went out for a short jog to shake out the legs, 2.5 miles really easy. Nothing hurts specifically. Hamstring was a little tight but not as bad as yesterday. Of the 4 "day after marathon" runs I've done, this one felt the best. I've been doing a lot of icing and letting Andrea work her massage magic (torture). I'm adamant about making sure I am very recovered before I start running for real again. If I play my cards right, I think I can swing one more short and sweet training cycle this fall and go after a half-marathon PR. I'm going to continue to listen to the feedback I'm getting from my body and not force anything. 

Hmmmm the print version of the Herald Journal made a slight typo...

An honest error. 10 minutes doesn't mean much in a marathon. Glad you got in some good cross training today focused on hand eye coordination.

From Jason D on Sun, Sep 16, 2012 at 21:23:05 from 24.1.80.94

Eh, what's 23 seconds per mile in the 5 minute pace range between friends?

Congratulations on the win, Jake!!! I thought I'd wait until today to say anything so my email didn't get flooded. hehe. You are wise to listen to your body and not force anything.

From DaleG on Sun, Sep 16, 2012 at 23:27:29 from 98.202.43.67

P.S. I just read Andrea's blog and saw that you were at Sparetime in Roy, which is only a few miles from my house. Dang, would have been good to finally meet you both.

From Bam on Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 06:30:44 from 213.191.240.67

Jake, make sure you keep that cutting from the paper. In years to come you can show your kids (you wait and see - little Jake's dressed in orange, wearing mini Saucony trainers, checking their weight as thy shovel in the ice cream:)). You don't need to tell them that it was a typo.

Mind you, you'll probably run faster in US Olympic Trials.

From Russ on Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 06:56:29 from 24.72.195.219

Wow. Is that 2:12 faster than Paul Ryan's PR?

From Rob on Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 08:26:42 from 206.71.84.68

I believe everything I read in the paper.

"Jake Krong professional runner for Saucony runs a 2:12:12 in the Top of Utah marathon."

Congratulations.

It also said I was 29 years old, which isn't quite true either. I'm 28 going on 16, obviously.

The bowling was kind of ugly... 125-116. Turns out you need to use your hamstrings just a little bit when you bowl, and I couldn't risk blowing them out :-)

I'm sending that 2:12 clipping to my grandma... as far as she knows, I'm like a 2:05 marathoner anyways.

From Scott Wesemann on Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 09:02:38 from 66.232.64.4

Congrats on your TOU win. That was seriously impressive. All of your hard work and training paid off for you. It has been fun to watch.

From Rachelle on Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 10:21:22 from 199.190.170.21

haha now that is awesome! I would probably cut it out, blow it up, and frame it if I were you. :)

From JulieC on Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 10:46:43 from 67.41.189.73

I love it!! :D.

From allie on Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 12:36:34 from 161.38.218.168

at least the error was in the right direction...

even with sore hamstrings, your bowling score is 3x better than my usual.

From Lulu Walls on Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 12:41:24 from 155.100.212.135

Ha! I am finally getting around to reading everyone's reports so this was the first I saw of your time. I almost fell off my bouncy ball :)

From Jake K on Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 12:58:08 from 155.100.226.191

Are you talking about my time for the 2.5 mile run? If so, I didn't post it, but it was about 25 minutes :-)

Or my 2:12 marathon?

From JD on Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 13:10:19 from 70.96.78.142

i wonder if the typo will prompt any contact from race promoters.

From Jake K on Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 13:11:23 from 155.100.226.191

I don't think many race promoters are scouring the Logan Herald-Journal on a regular basis :-)

From RAD on Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 13:27:04 from 98.202.23.178

according to the original Paul Ryan time calculator, they were actually off a little bit. Your adjusted time is 1:43! Next time the Herald should get it right :)

From Lulu Walls on Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 17:02:59 from 155.100.212.135

I knew you were going to do well, but at first glance seeing that you ran a 2:12 had me on the floor. I guess the 2:22 is alright too :)

From runningafterbabies on Wed, Sep 19, 2012 at 16:09:34 from 71.195.219.247

Didn't you know that your watch and the official time clock were both off? 2:12:12! Wowza
