Ran at Flat Iron Park while waiting for sons baseball game. Managed to get 4.3 miles in about 45 minutes which is 11 minute miles which is OK for m. The park has a nice view of the mountains as it kind of sits on a small hill. It does have a big drop from the top level to the lower level - I know Alexanders soccer team used to hate to run that for their soccer team warmup. Had pain but this time it wasnt my feet, my teeth from abunch of dental work in the morning. I still ran on the grass as much as possible to treat my feet nicer. I detected a little spring in my step and a little boost in my ego running today - I think that came from doing the 1/2 marathon. Kind of weird - for half marathon, part of me wanted to quit and never do it again, another part wants to do it again and strive to do better. Part of me hated it, theother part of me loved it. Alexander sure got alot of positive feedback for his effort and attitude with the Salt Lake Tribune article

Thanks for the support. Chiro found locked muscles on the other side of my body, if correct and cause of problem I might be back in action soon.

Sounds like a good race last weekend. Better be careful or you will get hooked like I did. I did my first 1/2 only because my son wanted to do it. Now, injury willing, I am going to run my second one in California in less than two weeks, without son who has a track meet the same day. Then I have a local 1/2 three weeks later..... Like I said it's easy to get hooked on this distance. Happy injury free running.
