Took a couple of miles to get the legs moving. Miles 3-5 at 7:30 mm pace; miles 6 at sub 7 mm pace; last mile at 6:25 mm pace; 1 mile cool down.
Found a great quote today:
"Perhaps the genius of ultra running is its supreme lack of utility. It makes no sense in a world of space ships and supercomputers to run vast distances on foot. There is no money in it and no fame, frequently not even the approval of peers. But as poets, apostles and philosophers have insisted from the dawn of time, there is more to life than logic and common sense. The ultra runners know this instinctively. And they know something else that is lost on the sedentary. They understand, perhaps better than anyone, that the doors to the spirit will swing open with physical effort. In running such long and taxing distances they answer a call from the deepest realms of their being, a call that asks who they are ..." David Blaikie

BoSho Marathon (26 Miles) 05:08:00 | |
BoSho (short for Bonneville Shoreline Marathon) is an unofficial "bandit" race put on by some of the local runners. Tough course, tons of elevation through the foothills of Northeast SL (U of U and beyond).
In short, rough day. While only 3 minutes slower than last year, it felt like an hour with twice the effort. Heavy legs, labored breathing and low energy--great combination for such a race.
7 am start with good sized crowd. Felt fine through 5-6 miles then just hung on while I got bounced around the foothills. Perfect cool weather for racing. Great training run. |

| | Legs really tired from Saturday's outting. Took a couple of days off and back at it today. Ran inside watching reports from Boston. Got very emotional (ranging from really upset to quite sad) a couple of times listening the stories. Love seeing the running community come together in support. |

| | Going to call it four miles. Out on course marking mileage--more accurate this year as I'm using a wheel. More running between markers and running around than running but I need the mileage...makes me feel better that I got something. |

Running the race without the miles--let’s call it two checking course switches and the 1-Mile Kids Run prior to the start.
Long day. Long night out marking course. Covered in chalk head to toe. The day couldn't have gone any better, starts on-time (3 min late), no timing issues and no one off course--just one sprinkler that didn't cooperate.
Good to see a few FRB'ers. Congratulations to Jon Kotter, Men's Half Marathon winner and to Kassi Harmon, Women's Champion--setting a new course record.
Ken and Janae Richardson husband/wife team took the #1 spots for the 5K (second week in a row after cleaning up at SLC last week).
One of the highlights: Prior to the Half Marathon start (and 5K), we held a moment of silence for those impacted by the Boston Marathon bombings. With a full-moon setting to the west just over the finish banner and the sun just rising in the east, 900 runners lined the street in total silence. We started the race moments later to Boston’s “More than a Feeling.” Runners wiping their eyes as they headed off—a powerful moment and an incredible start to a near perfect day.
Looking foward to getting back to a routine, doing some runs and bumping up the miles. |

| | 8 miles on the JRPT. I'd love to say it's great to be running again but those miles were rough. Body tired and worn down--legs actually sore from all of the walking around. Anxious to catch-up on sleep and get back to "normal." |
