| | Had a pretty nice run, it was getting quite windy tonight, I"m wondering if a storm is coming in tonight. Was pleasantly surprised that the underpass that goes under Washington Blvd. is clear of all the water! So good news! the race should not have to be diverted. !! 7.23 miles - 1:06:53 laps: 9:47, 9:24, 9:26, 9:12, 9:03, 8:58, 9:05, (.23) 8:49

No run today... I have a massage planned for tonight after work. I hope it will help get all the kinks out. I'm still up in the air about running Friday or not. If I do I think it will just be a slow 3-4 miles. But I'm leaning towards not, any ideas? I know that this is all a very personal thing for people, everyone is different.
For those of you that want to stop be my house after the marathon. Please PM me and I will give you my address and/or cell number. I don't know if I should just post it out on the blog ( not that I don't trust you all )LOL
You can shower up if you have a drive or no other place. I will have some rootbeer floats and we can all just hang out and relax. It would be great to see many of you face-to-face. |

No running today, I'm thinking this will be a good thing. But I had to share a fun story that just happened to me.
I went down to the expo to pick up my race packet on my lunch break. The usualy drill of getting your bid... move to the next line and get your drop bag and shirt...move to the next lin to get your timing band. So I handed the lady my bib and she typed in the number to swipe the timing ship, your name pops up on the computer. She looked at me and said... You are Lori Metcalf? I said Yes... She said it's nice to meet you... you are my race nemesis!! I guess I was always just ahead of her at all our local races. She said even when she didn't race she always checked the results to see if I had run and what my times were. I was very flattered. I know we call have people we compete with at races (For my Alison Brumwell) but never thought in a million years I could be some ones race nemesis.
Well after work I will meet up with Marion, and Carolyn to have dinner. Also my running friend and her husband. Hopefully my husband will make it... but it looks like a crazy day for him so it is doutful!
I have had butterflies more this year then I have in the past... don't really know what that's all about. But I will take a deep breath and try my best... but most of all try to have a good time! |

Ogden Marathon (26.2 Miles) 04:05:07, Place overall: 699, Place in age division: 24 | | My garmin to a crapper at mile 14.5 so I was waiting for the results to be posted so that I would have all the information.
Not really the results I was hoping for. I felt pretty good for most of the marathon, I can't really say what it was that slowed me down, miles 20-24 were probably the hardest for me. I usually love running this portion of the marathon, but I'm sure I was much slower here then I had planned. I think (didn't have the garmin to tell me) I pick up the pace the last 3 or so miles. Mostly because I just really needed to be over with it. My only thoughts at that moment were not to stop because it was just make it even longer. It was a beautiful day, and I had a great time with Marion and Carolyn! It was so exciting to have Carolyn BQ! I can tell I have some work to put in if I'm going to try and get a better time on my next marathon. From the muscles that are sore I can see where the work needs to be placed. So all in all beautiful day... great to meet up with FRB friends! But a bit disapointed with my results. My results
