So saving my speed for that race.  After todays 18 miler I think I can muster a 3:45 at deseret.  I only need at 4:05 to qualify but want a ten minute cushion.  I can get into boston with that cushion then when faster at sg I can change my qualifying time as they allow.  18 miler today felt great.  Just a little sore in left sit down bone area but then just felt better and better and better.  Felt like I was sailing.  gliding.  free.  ran up to manila pond through new road by my house and up by manila elementary then through nice homes to pond and turn left then another left 3/4 quarters of a mile later into very nice home area by Mount Timponogos Temple.  Ran south and onto 1800 north then up past temple remembering the beautful day last wednesday!!

cooldown after walking a little 8:53 avg pace up Kim's hill three times (0.75 miles)

Went to lone peak pond to the small river by it.  refreshing but not ice cold. 

recovery run my long run route, turned round at mile which was right before deerfield elem, right at the road crossing and back.  9:07 AVG. was only going to do 8 but wanted the miles and i felt good.  

campsite 13 at deer creek reservoir, great horned owl loop.  right by bathrooms and close to water.  ran one loop around site because had to tell troy something so went to 4.16 miles turning at wallsburg road.  was at 2.16 miles there. so two miles in turn around.  only stop was to tell troy something and to cross the highway.  wow they fly in that canyon! the 18 wheelers are the scariest as they have a draft after they fly by.  luckily it is only for 1.5 miles one way, but catch it uphill on way back is not as fun.   lots of cars!  wallsburg quiet. Left at 815 am   avg pace 8:40.  mile splits:  10:16 that campsite loop and then back up and out, 8:28, 8:39, 8:30, 8:00,7:53, 8:50, and 8: 34.  9:22 for last .07.   Brooke and David joined us at 1030 am.  Met up with Alec and Amber for boating at 1 pm.  Troy and I paddle boarded. Hung out three and half hours while they did that.  back to camp. Grannies and dinner with grandma and grandpa- potato bar.  

still camping. went back to go to church with david and brooke to zoe's farewell.  1030 am.  had eggs bacon and hashbrowns for breakfast first.  came back relaxed and I played corn hull with david.  he won best out of three twice against me.  Got closer second round.  Was fun.  Then cards taco cat goat cheese pizza. Then a dip in the water with skipping of rocks. It was fun. Then alec and amber showed up.  They played more games while troy and I made spaghetti dinner, bread sticks, salad.  later s'mores by the camp fire and a game of Smurf.  David got "quitting your job.  Amber eating ice cream.  Alex peeing your pants. Me-skinny dipping.  Pretty funny game.  tried to watch batman returns but remote is missing. slept like a rock!!  

same route as saturday only didn't do the loop first. started from the bathroom.  Stopped watch to pet puppies and to use outdoor bathroom on route( ground) and to cross the busy streets.  3.5 minutes total.  Saturday 2:50 for talking to troy, crossing street which took a while.  surprisingly faster today (though opening mile saturday was more uphill as  I did the entire loop first then back up).  mile paces: 9:41, 8:12, 8:33, 8:35,7:47,7:40,8:29, and 8:10.  Felt good.   Avg pace 8:24!!! 

Elevate with 8!  (Miles theme). 1 mile 8:33.  Hazy warm morning.  100 degrees today. Low in 70s. Very warm at gym.  Next to Kim for warmup.  And two up 4 percent incline. 7:30 pace.  Some pull in hamstring so hold on to front to work on form at times.  Got into a pattern hold for 0.05 each hand.  0.15 no hold. Lol.  Sometimes I'd go longer without holding.  This was hard to go from east warm up to 4 percent and fast.  Took a bit for heart rate to adjust and hamstring. But it no longer pulled during your doing that. 5 down 9.0 mph. 6:39 pace.  First four straight through (switched tm to smoother one that didn't   clop.  I felt dehydrated and didn't want ti push through that and so I got to four went to bathroom got a drink and someone was on the tm i was on. Phone right there. So gently told him I was on there.  And got started.  Ran last mile on 6:35 total avg. started 6:39 but takes tm a bit to get up to speed so last 1/4 mile 9.3--10 mph.    Weird only saved 4 seconds but it's probably bc of the slow up to pace from stand still tm. Got to half mile at 3:25.  6:50 pace. So really made up 16 seconds picking it up.  Feeling strong on that mile. Water helped.  Weights arms and ab machine. 

Busy shift.  Brenda with me.  3 babies.   All girls. Darling 

Oddly good run.  Kept with my 8s though. Was thinking of tapering. Nah.  Did a rectangle course from my house.  To train tracks pass new Maceys down to Olive Garden. Cross to mod pizza. Back up past hobby lobby.  Turn to take 1800 back.  Turn again temple road then right by church throgh that new neighborhood straight across to 600 west back to Manila and right then left to not yet built development.  End before Brooke c house.  Ate breakfast there.  Crepes.   Fun family. 8:23 avg.  first mile surprised 9:08.  Felt slow.  So just kept the effort and got faster. 8:34.  8:16, 8:11, 8:38 (hill). 8:13,8:14 and 7:48.   Felt strong.  Warm out and it diving bug me.  Muggy !  I wrote this while on elliptical for pt appt. 

Work.   Beds 10 and 11.  Girls. 

820 am heat sim.  Didn't bother me.  80 degrees.  Ended up on parade route for steel days.  9:43//8:58/8:56/8:29/9:07/8:39/8:45/8:39.  8:54 avg. ran into nickie Hyde on parade route.  

church then bbq up af canyon with grandpa and grandma.  Then picked up packed.  106 degrees in car on freeway.  100 at eccles 6 pm.  gonna be a hot one.  Having some diarhea.  ate hot dog, potato salad, watermelon, pineapple, plain chips, hummus and pita, cookies.  ate part of a almond coconut go2 bar before bed.  pretty hot in house.  slept mayne 5 hours?  fireworks and heat keeping me up.  laid in bed at 815pm.  last saw clock a little past 10.  Alarm off at 3 am.  Bus at 4 am.  Cold on bus.  hot outside.  er bathroom at stadium. waited on bus for half hour.  bus took wrong turn for two miles.  but runners that ran it a lot redirected him.

This race was added on for a boston qualifier.  I just had my daughters wedding and working full time and not much time to squeeze in long runs but got in an 18 miler one monday, then 20 following monday then 10 days later on a friday a 21 miler which didn't go too well after three shifts in a row and forgetting to drink.  Also my piriformis acted up for like 10 days.  After that long run I did freedom 10 k and did well oddly.  Then did four days later Hobbler half, also doing well.   I did a pretty decent 17 miler up and down af canyon from the caves up to tibble back to kims house on July 13, 11 days before race.  The 21 mile last three mile death march was on June 30 so 24 days before race.  I didn't taper and ran 8 miles all the week before race and week before that when I wasn't workinig.  This race in my mind was just training run.  The impending heat wave made it feel more like survival of the fittest.  Got up at 3 am. slept 5 hours.  to bus at 4 am.  last bus and we waited a while then driver took wrong turn so got to top with 15 min to spare before start.  Wore my kangaroo pack with three gus in it and 6 chewable salt tabs.   Drank a water and a gatorade at every aide station, think missed water at one.  Took gu at mile 7/14/21.   Sweaty at start in butt crack area.  And chest.  some cool spots in the air temp as we decended but mostly muggy.   got cooler near mile 11-15.  Muggy again out of canyon.  Brief panic attack at the turn out of canyou.  Felt like 10 more miles was a lot of work for how i was feeeling aerobically.  Just slowed down to keep heart rate happy.  Accidentally hit lap button at 0.18 miles in to see pace in the dark so all my miles are off until I hit lap again at mile22 and then I was directed off course at milee 25.5 and redirected back on with lots of panic self talk and aloud to spectators of parade.  felt hopeless in that last mile and felt as though I was crawling. Most likely pace was 9 but took 10 for stopping and asking where to go. So lost a minute there.

I had done this course in 2015 as a 3:45 pacer and we went this way and the cones were there for later diverting the course but I didn't realize that was for later not for those that met the time standard to be on parade route.   We were on parade route for 1.5 miles!!   So many spectators watching our final mile what a sight!

Avg.  then tried speed.  And hips achy    Tried again.   Not into it.    Tried 3 rd time and said no.    So 1/2 mile there. Then half mile jog at 8;57 pace.   Then home.  Then decided to run with puppies.  Ran 2.2 with Raven. She did great and super happy.  Then dishes put away.  Then Ranger.   He did good. But worried several times.  23 min.   With poop stop and pee stops. So 10:27 avg. probs really 9 avg wheh running.  Felt so good.   So much better than vasa.   The rain was so nice ti her and it was cool out.  Perfect temp and wetness.  

put on call.  back to bed.  out the door about 10 am to drive to three falls.  ran 4 out and back.  hip flex or pain then at 3.85 miles I twisted by ankle.  ouch.  waited for the pain sting to calm and finished to 4 mile turn around gingerly at first then normal.  same side as hip flexor issue (left).  12:16/11:00/10:51/10:55/10:27/11:36/11:02/10:12 (9:55)- past where I started by a lot!!half way down parking lot. 11:00 avg if stop at potty, 11:03 per watch.  

somethings up.  so i was totally excited to do speed but just jogging into vasa by hips felt weird especially left one.  ugh.  so warmed up and I was tight in hips.  but ok tried 1 up at 7:41 pace, 3 percent incline.  not to bad but held on at times.  then down 6:48.  mile- 2 percent.   ran then up two same pace.   Was gonna try 7 down but got called into work so only had time for three but when I started again after stopped my leg didn't feel it.  just tight and achy left leg/thigh etc.  work at noon and by end walking really bad.  really bad next day and a little better friday.  no running at all. feels like I am reliving my sad painful days that running feels too much of a chore and not even a consideration in this pain.  but i really wanted to race saturday.  so i try to show up. see entry.  36:38.  

against all that is right in the world i should not have shown up.  but i was still in shock that all my training this summer went to waste with this sudden injury incompatible with jogging nevermind running.  got up at 420 am.  got to bus at 515am.  got to top at 605 am.  cold and super crowded.  ran up a mile very slow and painfully and knew full well this was not a good idea. knee seems out of place causing my thigh to track wrong too.  and pain in thigh and groin kind of too much.  super stressful race start in a lot of pain with a wrap around my thigh holding whatever tendon has snapped into place.  all i could think of is get to next mile, now get to next.  pace was not forced. it was super easy cardio wise.  i am still in shock at the pain.  after the race i went to byu fb game with it wrapped and after that it was in severe pain that i had to take a muscle relaxant. quad burning.  groin burning.  unable to lift leg with out pain or walk or stand or lay down.  I had already iced in af river for 18 minutes after driving right there at noon after race.  I got to mile 11 and tried to adjust my wrap as it was  falling off so I just took it off and it was the worst thing I could do.  stopped me in  my tracks and I had to walk the rest.  could not even break into a jog.  so I stopped a few minutes into mile 12 so that mile was 21:xx and the next even slower 27:55!!!  like sooooo bad pain.   everyone was cheering for me telling me I got this etc.. It  really was nice of everyone.  so many people just running by.  they looked good.  couldnt make sense of my non moving body. turtle speed.  I was brave I know that. the pain and running was soooo stupid yet brave.  the last 0.1 took about 3.5 minutes.  maybe more.  

Paces:  7:34/7:33/7:03/6:48/6:37/6:55/6:40/6:56/6:56/7:34/8:01 (PURPOSELY SLOWED TO TRY AND GET QUAD TO QUIET), 21:16/27:55 AND 4 MIN FOR LAST 0,2.  7:09 AVG FOR FIRST 11 MILES.  i definitely could have run 1:30.  I wasn;t even having an adrenaline run rush. just all pain.  able to talk easily with others albeit not very positive.  last night was soooo painful.  right quad a heck ton sorer than affected leg.  it had to work over time!!  inner thigh groin difficulty lifting leg from straight leg and side to side and going up stairs left foot first.  

last tuesday before work, scratchy throat and then nasal drainage, then body aches until thursday afternoon.  Went to byu v tcu game last thursday. able to finally straight leg raise both legs not much pain.  mri rescheduled from last thursday to today.  VERDICT in after trying to bike and use elliptical with semi promising results but knew needed to stop.  That was saturday then today did two miles elliptical next to Julie E.  26.5 minutes.  just casual. Tried to run.  nope, only 4.2 mph and only with me taking some weight off with my arms at times  i made it to 1/2 mile.
