| I will TRY to be brief. Went up yesterday and met Josse and stayed with her and Ericka. We had a fun time "trying" to sleep well. They ran the half. I met up with McKenzie and Aubrey at the start. Ran my own race. Goal to be at 7:15 AP until mile 14.5 then pick it up. Sounds good in theory but at Ogden it doesn't really work that way. Not sure if I took it slower earlier on it would even help at all. Let's just say that at mile numero uno I knew this would be a mind over body ordeal the entire way. My pelvis and lower back felt like they were going to snap at any moment. I would use my hands to hold up my butt and that would alleviate the pulsating nerve pain in my butt cheeks. Eventually that pain would move to my hamstrings and slowly but surely the pain wore on me and the last 2.7 miles were utterly without spunk or drive. I kept telling myself that Kim would not be impressed right now but I would answer back in my head that I didn't care. She is not here and it just doesn't matter. Certainly if I pick it up my sinews would unravel and I would collapse. After two doses of ibuprofen and an ice dip in the AF river I am now walking normally no soreness. I just have this pulsating nerve pain from my lower back to my pelvis and butt cheeks and groin. Eeeks. It reminds me of labor pains. But that's enough whining. I ran it and I didn't give up. I soooooo wanted to be done at mile 14, 15, 16- 26.2. In fact my garmin read I ran 26.36 miles in 3:15:25 that's a 7:24 pace!! I must have been swerving all over the place : D. Really I started my watch before I crossed the chip line when the gun went off. Oooops. Here are my splits: 7:22, 7:20, 7:09, 7:03, 7:08, 7:15, 7:10, 7:12, 7:22, 7:14, 7:25, 7:18, 7:21 (not sure on half way, probably 1:35:45 to 1:36, will see when they post splits on the results), 7:31 (pelvic pain really burning), 7:47 (that uphill), 7:28, 7:24, 7:08 (briefly I saw my pace at 6:24!!, never again ) , 7:07, 7:22, 7:30, 7:23, 7:08, 7:37 (crashing on the river trail once again, can't take these rolling hills and laid back walkers and biker crowds), 8:11 (I just don't give a darn. I hurt like you know what and I am PRing already. I could walk a bit and still PR here. How's that for giving up mentally?) 8: 18 (even 23 week PREGO women are beating me this mile, right Josse?!! : D). Last .2 unknown as I ran .36 miles at 8:13. Geez at least I picked it up a little. The last mile reminded me of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion "Is this room actually stretching? or is it your imagination? and how about this perplexing question? how do you find a way out? This could be re-written as "is the finish line really a mile a way? or is this road actually stretching? your imagination? YES. Is there a way out. Perhaps. One foot in front of the other baby!! Oh to cross the finish line. A glorious moment!! |
