It has been a while....

I had to stop running in September due to a large cyst on the back of my left knee.  I gave it several months to completely go away and by that time we were in the dead of winter.  The roads where I live have been horrible....icy, drifted, dangerous.  I told myself that when I could see asphalt on my road, it would be time.  With the melting we have had the last couple of days I was out of excuses.

It was 36 degrees, windy, and a little rainy this morning.  I ran 3.04 miles nice and easy.  I realize that I am basically starting from scratch and didn't want to push it too hard and get re-injured.  It was nice to be back out again.  I have kept in shape other ways, watched my diet, and actually weigh about 15 lbs less than I did when I ran my last marathon in September.

4.25 miles on a windy morning.  I ran the end of what may end up being the marathon course here in Pocatello.  We are considering changing the end of the course to utilize the new South Valley Connector and completely eliminate all the traffic issues the last 2 miles with the Freeway ramps, the gas station, and the congestion coming in from the North side of the park.  The finish would now be from the South.  I ran it to see how it would be for runners before we actually make the change.

I was looking at possible marathons for the year and just found out that the Park City Marathon is no longer running.  It's last year was 2014.  That is sad to me as I completed it 12 times in a row (2001-2012) and it was my FIRST.  It was a tough one, but I liked it because, due to the toughness, the expectations were lower and I could just enjoy the day.  There have been so many races added in that timeframe (Big Cottonwood, Huntsville, etc) that older races are suffering.  Top of Utah only has about 1/4 of the finishers it used to have.  Sad...

Utah Valley Marathon.  I used this race as a measuring stick to see where I am and to adjust my training for my fall marathons.  I figured I was in 3:40 shape and my 3:38 finish pretty much confirmed that.

I struggled on the uphills in miles 8-9 and 16-17, especially the second set with the strong, hot headwind we had for a few miles.  It felt like running in to a huge blowdryer.  I ran the last 5 miles with Bret Zundel, who I haven't seen since 2008...that was awesome!

We hiked out the 10+ miles back to the vehicles.  We got out almost 2 hours faster than we made it in due to the elevation drop.

Total 10.00 miles.

I finally got someone to go on a long run with me.

I picked up Troy at 5:45 and we drove to the marathon start.  It was a bit warm but we lucked-out because some clouds rolled-in as we approached Inkom and kept it bearable all the way to Century HS.

Total 20.64 miles.

Troy ran the marathon route with me again.  Well, for the first 17 miles, then he pulled away as I faded hard!  I stayed up too late last night and didn't eat a good dinner because we went to the Keith Urban concert at the Wellness Center.  We had a GREAT time, but I only got 3 1/2 hours of sleep before the alarm went off and my last 5 miles were more of a death march.

Total 20.35 miles in new shoes.

Nice Group run.  9 of us drove to mile 5 of the marathon course to run the new out-and-back and the new finish on the South Valley Connector.  We wanted to start at mile 4, but there was no good place to park.  We made up the distance by going farther on the out-and-back on Rapid Creek road.

It was a nice cool morning and with the 5:30 start it was comfortable the whole way in to Ross Park.

Total 22.05 miles.
