Woke to the same bum leg and worried about running this 10K but I told myself I could make myself do anything, especially for only 6.2 miles. I warmed up for 3.05 miles at 8:27 pace, I think. Removed the headgear and overlying shirt, gloves. Lined up at start and almost had an anxiety attack seeing the four REALLY fit looking girls towing the line. GEEZ. I felt so wimpy and blubbery. Well one of the toner looking ones I beat by 8 seconds passing her at 3 miles and then she almost tripped me at 3.3 miles, running on my heels. Basically the start was scary-- HELLO 6:07 pace, NOT ME. I think I even saw 6:00 for a few seconds and that was REAL time. I did NOT want to do this because it is NOT good pacing so I slowed and then I find that that sets me up for a slower second mile due to the early SURGE. The second mile was towards the canyon on 800 north with a NICE HEADWIND. I was mentally not in the game and was asking myself why do you have to run in all this pain? Why? SERIOUSLY? Why not stop? JUST STOP. Pulled my head out when we turned south, and the wind was to the side. Ahhhh. I just passed a muscular girl (found out later she is 25 years old). She passes me back and I let her stay ahead for a bit longer then pass her and stay ahead of her for the rest of the race. At just before mile 4 there was a cop car on the side of the road with the crosswalk just in front of it. I wanted to cut off going around the car to the right because we have to turn left across the street. I was worried about cutting the course short so I went around the car. But apparently it would have helped me to be right on 6.2 miles and to get that sub-41. At mile 4.5 we start passing walkers for the 5k and some I have to kindly tell them I am on their left as they were walking not noticing the 10kers. I saw two guys out in front of me about 20-30 seconds ahead of me and I tried to gain on them but my leg hurt like the dickens and I couldn't kick it in. I also felt I needed my gu that I totally forgot to take out of my car before the race. Dang. I did get water at two of the three stations. It tasted great!! I finally heard Troy with .1 to go, even through my music, so I picked it up the last turn having to DODGE around at least ten 5kers. I saw the clock at 40:55 and I knew I was going to miss the sub 41 but oh well 41:02 is pretty close and with a 17 miler yesterday/bum leg I feel pretty good about it. My leg is currently throbbing-- mostly my inner quad. It has a good sized lump on it. That can't be good. It is as if someone punched me in my leg and it swelled up but when you feel it you can feel the muscle is swollen. It is stemming from my right hip and radiates to my heel and toes. Burning, pulsating kind of intense pain. The massage therapist said is was VERY tight. So for me it is massage, massage, massage until Utah Valley Marathon : D. I am sure hoping it can respond well to therapy. Splits: 6:26, 6:46 (mental game into the wind), 6:35, 6:29, 6:31 (thinking I so HAVE THIS so not sure why I couldn't turn it up the last mile. It was a long stretch, slight incline, very slight, majorly MENTAL), 6:46 (how in the heck? GOT GU? NEW RIGHT LEG PLEASE!!), .22 miles at 6:25 pace (hard to go fast passing runners and turning, I don't think I picked it up until the last .05 miles). Good training run. Now time to heal.
