I did NOT get in to the St George Marathon. Now before you say, "Oh NO!" I am a tad bit sad, but mostly relieved :) With all the new runner anxiety I am feeling about the Utah Valley Marathon, I think I am good for one marathon at a time. I just want to get the the race in one piece, and get it all done :) I am REALLY glad that some other runner who REALLY wants it got my spot :)

| | 57:00/11:24, best 8:25, splits-12:34, 12:44, 11:08, 11:02, 10:58 Boy, have I been fighting depression lately. I don't quite know what my problem it, but usually when I do get it, it is many different things combining together to get me down. I really wanted to skip my run, but I forced myself out. It was a lousy 2 mile start, but not as zipless as last week. I guess I do take some serious time to recover, good to know. Then I decided that I need to just RUN FASTER!!! SO I did. It felt really good and cleared some of the cobwebs and gloom and doom from my mind. It really helped. One of the main contributing factor to my "little black rain cloud" mood has been only running 4 days a week. My mind can't handle it. I am going to run 2 on those days from now on and still bike too. Oh wait, I have been bad a biking too. Boy, am I am naughty girl!!! ;D Now for the HAPPY STUFF! As some of you know- Mother's Day was a real crapper :( Mac (5) made me a lip gloss in preschool and Ford (8) made me a darling book mark. THAT WAS IT!! The bishop even canceled all the morning meetings and NO BREAKFAST, NO LUNCH, nada! Not even a 'Happy Mother's Day,' except from my favorites, Mac and Ford- they are the best and will inherit any thing of value when I die. Anyway, today is David's birthday... so, I thought "Sweet Revenge..." But, then I decided to KILL him with kindness. I took all of the kids shopping yesterday for a surprise party for him today. We all got up at 6 am and made him a HUGE breakfast of all of his favorite stuff on his most beloved Camp Chef. We let him sleep in. Imagine that, I kept all of the boys away from our room so he could sleep (that would have been nice on Mother's Day). I let Mac pick out his cake, a big white sheet cake lake with a trout jumping out of it ;) OOOoooo. It is cool looking.... if your 5 ;) They picked out a wonderful pasta dinner and ginger ale, is favorite soda. We will also have maqrgaritas and pina coladas too. I was not going to rub it in at all, but he came over to hug me this morning while I was cooking, and I jabbed him in the gut and told him, "This is what you do when you love some one!!!' ;D I am a little turd, I know. Sorry I have not been visiting all of your wonderful blogs, but my internet has been really shotty lately. :(

Ogden Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 02:31:59, Place overall: 971, Place in age division: 138 | |
Did you know that real live Kleenex tissue is SUPER COOL! I always use plain old TP. It's a bit white trash, but it's just boogers! The Ogden Half was GREAT! It is such a beautiful course. My internet is a bugger so this is short. Thank you Lori & Bill for having me over for a great time! Lori you are the BEST!!! Carolyn, it was SO wonderful to meet you! Way to go on your BQ! Barry- I was so happy that we got to meet in person today. I couldn't find you after to see how you did. I did not push today, which was the plan. I really felt fine after the first 7 miles. The first three miles were the hardest. My right foot was pretty lousy. 2:3_/11:24, best 6:35, splits-11:36, 14:17(potty), 11:47, 11:21, 11:17, 12:01, 12:15, 10:41, 11:03, 10:58, 11:38, 11:05, 10:31
***Additional race report- For the first half of the race I was with the walk/runners. About half way through, I was able to lose them ;) My first walk runner that I wanted to drop was BIG Polynesian dude. At mile 6 I Pinked him ;) Next were the LOUD, mostly naked, TOO TAN, chubby chicks with bleached blond hair. I really wanted to catch pigeon toed, knocked kneed girl, but she left me in the dust about mile 5 L . For all of the parkway and streets, I just focused on passing everyone, just one at a time. I got grey Capri, peach top girl midway through the parkway. I was SO glad for the aid station with the LOUD music at the end. They were blaring AC/DC and it was just what I needed J . I wanted them to follow me with the music to the finish. I took fluid and/or fuel at every aid station except the last one. For the whole length of Grant, I started to push so I could pass everyone between me and the finish. There were two girls in the last quarter mile that were going to be tough to pass. I stepped it up and got them with a few feet to spare. The only bummer was that I was so focused on them, that I did not see the two girls on my right who passed me JUST AS WE CROSSED THE FINISH!!! :p
It was really hard to run this as a training run. I really had to fight off the tiny bit of competitive nature I have. I kept reminding myself what Carolyn had said, “This is just a training run with food!!” …and, port-a-potties ;)
After the race I was able to talk to Walter and Sasha and meet Dustin. For an extra special treat, I got to see Kelli and Kellie! They are SO cool and beautiful and FAST!!!! I may change my name to Kelli/Kellie so I can be them ;) I saw Allie, but by the time I got up to go meet her, she had vanished!!! L |
