The group was meeting at o'roi hardy park. I got there 20 minutes early and ran 2.5 miles with Cheri's. After the others got there, we did another mile for everyone to warm up. Then we did several intervals of 3 minutes fast and 3 minutes recovery. My glutes are pretty sore so I must've pushed myself hard on the speed.

4 miles from work.  I went North on the trail and came out by the golf course.  Not feeling it today.

I parked at the trailhead but didn't get on the trail until about mile 3.  My legs are still feeling exhausted.  I think I may have pushed myself too hard on the speed work I did Tuesday.  I have a lot to learn.  I hope they feel better for Hobbler 1/2 Saturday.

My sister signed us both up for this race.  A few weeks later, she found out she would be at trek and couldn't run.  I decided to run it anyway.  I woke up at 3:00 AM and drove to Springville.  I probably didn't need to leave quite that early, but still had to pick up my packet.  I had heard that the times on this course were comparable to Utah Valley 1/2.  I decided to just try finish under 1:40.  At mile 4 the 1:40 pacer passed me and got quite a bit ahead.  I was really discouraged.  I knew I was pushing as hard as I could.  My Garmin was way off of the mile markers so I wasn't sure what pace I was really going.  At mile 6 you get off the road and run on a dirt road for about a 1/4 mile.  I didn't like that.  It reminded me of the canal road last week.  At mile 9 I passed the 1:40 pacers.  They were walking.  They must have realized they were way ahead. I'm guessing they were having the same Garmin issues I was.  I felt much better after I passed them.  I felt really strong all the way to the end.  I even passed quite a few people those last few miles.  My Garmin showed the distance as 12:93 so my splits are way off, but here they are anyway.

7:33, 7:26, 7:16, 7:23, 7:19, 7:21, 7:16, 7:26, 7:27, 7:36, 7:46, 7:45, and 7:24 pace for the last .93.  

I had a Gu at miles 4 and 11.  I also took Ibuprofen at mile 11.  I think that helps me a ton.  I ate a banana and bagel at about 4:30.  I took 2 Immodium when I woke up and 1 an hour before the race.  It worked.  I didn't have any stomach issues.
