| Day off to rest foot. I wasn't planning to let up at all this week, even with TOU 1/2 marathon on Saturday, but I would rather make sure I am injury free than fight this for the next month. Plus, I can just act like it is a planned taper, of sorts. I'll make sure I get lots of sleep, too. | |

| Day 2 of injury rest. Start running again tomorrow. I will have 100 hours of no running, so hopefully it did some good. | |

First run since Saturday, so my foot got over 100 hours of rest. Started out feeling very sluggish and rusty running the TOU course, but my first mile was 7:09- surprisingly fast for how my legs felt. Maintained 7:00-7:15 pace for 6 miles (TOU to mile 24, up to canal, past first dam a bit) plus 1 mile back. Then I picked it up for 2 miles of tinman tempo (6:30 pace), then 2.5 miles of 6:15 pace. Last .5 was easy. Good run. The best part was there was a pretty good thunderstorm, and I got rained on pretty hard for about 4 miles. Felt great!

6 easy miles (2 with the jogging stroller), plus 4 cross train frisbee miles. I'm getting excited for Saturday's race.

7 easy miles with Paul on river trail, 55:46. No snakes or moose or badgers, probably cause James wasn't with us.

Race day. Woke up all night with anticipation. Got up at 4:40, did 2 miles to warm up and get the bowels loose. Ran to the finish line and rode to the start up the canyon, then 2 more miles warm up. Perfect conditions- just under 50 degrees, with a very strong tail wind for about 2 miles out of the canyon. Lots of runners, including many bloggers (Logan, Paul, James, Cody, Walter, etc). I hoped to break my PR (1:15:35). Here are the miles:
1- 5:32 (felt good but I was worried it was too fast)
2- 5:46 (relaxed- running with Cody)
3- 5:45
4- 5:33 (caught James and Walter)
5- 5:28 (not sure why I was feeling so good, but I let it ride)
6- 5:20 (fastest mile this year, including workouts)
7- 5:21
8- 5:33
9- 5:43 (Hollow road- I was really hurting here and could feel my 5:20's, but knew 6:00 pace to the finish would give me a PR)
10- 5:46 (started feeling a bit better at 10.5)
11- 5:58 (uphill and tired)
12- 6:09 (uphill and tired)
13- 5:35
0.1- 0:33
Walter and I were duking it out from mile 4 till the end- he was ahead 15 seconds, then I got 10 seconds ahead, then we ran the last 3 miles side by side. Both pushing very hard, wanting to beat the other. We saw someone gaining on us at mile 12 and were wondering who it was- it ended up being Logan, who took a wrong turn. I got a few yards on Walter with a mile to go and beat him by 5 seconds for 3rd place overall. The time- 1:14:07, crushing by PR!!! One of the better races of my life. Plus, I have never placed lower than 3rd in this race (3rd, 1st, 3rd) and continue my streak of 3rd place finishes this year (5 of 7 races).
Overall I was very happy with the race, and I think many other people were, too. Good race. I think I am on track for my marathon goal in 3 weeks as long as I can keep running on my foot. 3 mile cool down.
