10 easy around my home here and there and every where.  Hip and adductor and satorious muscles still acting up. I was really tired after half saturday. Mother's day was great.  Brunch at Seth and Stef's new house.  Kyle and amber came to dinner with Courtney.  Brooke came down with David on Friday to hange with Jenna and friday and saturday night. Went to costa vida sat night with Brooke and David.  Amber came over saturday and we played skull key and the game with four decks.  Kyle was working.  Amber sick since wednesday. Fever and chills and headache and sore throat.  She skipped going to brunch bc she needed sleep (my suggestion, so she didn't have to come to our ward at 9 am in order to make it to brunch).  Brooke and David and I went to see Tami in the hospital.  We were supposed to cut Tami's hair but she forgot and her hairdresser was coming the next day.  So we just chatted.  Brooke and David left up to Kaysville for dinner there.  All in all it was a great day.  Stance Disney socks from Brooke, National Parks puzzle from Courtney, earrings from Amber.  And picture frame Magnet picture board from Troy along with flowers and two balloons. Great dinner- pork tenderloins, squash, corn, potatoes, scalloped, and blooming onions.  Also oreo parfait :D.

Pace was 9:11 avg 147 HR.   2 min jog, 1 min walk, 2 min jog, 1 min walk, 3 min jog 1 min walk x 2 then 4 min jog 1 min jog until 10 miles. I was parched.  at 7.7 miles got some water at discovery park fountain. That saved the day.  It was 68 degrees at the start.  7:36 am.  I avg 8:16 for the jogging miles, the walk breaks helped my pace.  20 min of walking and 9:11 pace is pretty good :D

ogden half pacer 1:40

warm up 1 mile 9:22 avg at 618am.  stood before that in 15 min potty line.  Vry concerened about left hip flexor.  Yesterday Brooke C. did foot zoning  both feet and then I Ktaped it.  Worried a bone might break like it did big C half sept 23.  OUCH    mile 11 had to walk painfully in at 25 min a mile.  

met up with American Flyers pace group for pictures

Austin and I paced 1:40.  RIGHT on with pace band. 

1:39:46 = 13.22 miles chip time.  1:39:59 gun time. 7:33 avg if 13.22 like watch says. 7:36 avg at 13.1.

7:48/7:44/7:36/7:35/7:12/7:19/7:23/7:24/7:18/7:20/7:41/7:45/7:58 and 7:56 for last 0.22 miles.

right quad seized up at finish and I was lucky to have it massaged out by Graham.  He runs a tent similar to muscle works.  I believe my right leg did all the work bc I tried not to lift my left leg.  In warm up it was very questionable.  HR avg high probs bc talked all miles except mile 11-13.  Austin went ahead but then nicely waited for me.   It was great getting to know him!!  First marathon at age 43 was last April in 2:48 at Mount Charleston..  Wasn't a runner since hs, started up last July.  Good to see this guy do so well and be excited about it.
