Short-Term Running Goals: PR 1/2 marathon AGAIN
Long-Term Running Goals: Break 2:46 in Boston! Personal:
I used to run for BYU, but only after trying out three times and finally walking on, so I was never a star. However, it was wonderful to run with great people and under Coach Shane. When you run with fast people, you can't help to improve! I graduated BYU in 1998, and didn't run a race until 2002, after having my second child. My hiatus and other crazy life commitments have made my competitive running suffer, but the last couple of years I have tried to get back into it the best I can. I have been married since 1996, to Paul Lowry, who is a runner himself. I have three boys (my three rascals), ages 12, 10, and 8. After a great 2008 season, I was injured and eventually diagnosed and cross-diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, a type of arthritis disease, which precludes running for all but the most stubborn. So I am on medications, trying to stay healthy, and seeing my PT often. And running! Now beating the streets in Hong Kong. |

Woke up at 2:30 am and couldn't fall back asleep! That is so annoying and better not happen before St. George. So I finally got on my running clothes around 4am and figured I might as well get in the measly miles I am supposed to do for taper and then try to take a nap afterward.
This was my first tights day, and I had a windbreaker on and a hat because it looked like the rain may come back but it didn't and I felt like I had a wind parachute on. I also chose a rather hilly loop which stunk going up but finally got a marathon pace mile toward the end on the downhill.
Overall pace 8:29.

Tried to post this twice already so will keep brief.
Did a taper level speed workout, down a ladder. Wanted to hold back to prevent freaky injuries/reduce risk this close to marathon.
Temperatures 20 degrees lower than a week ago. Legs never warmed up.
Arms like frozen chicken wings, legs like frozen pork chops. (Temp 35 and I made the mistake of wearing shorts).
1 mile - 6:30
.5 rest
1200 - 4:45
.25 rest
800 - 3:07 by Toms watch, mine when cuckoo
.25 rest
400 - 81 sec

Tom is a punk because he hasn't posted his workout this morning!!!!
I know he is waiting for me to post, just as I have been waiting for him to post.
Here's the deal, we planned on a 3 mile tempo run at 6:55-7:05 pace. This is the pace/effort for a 3 hour marathon. He will be pacing a blind participant at that speed. I wanted the tempo to feel easy and give me confidence and to just see what the 3 hour pace felt like. Well, my Garmin was 20-25 seconds per mile slower than his, with my mile laps beeping way down the road after his did. From the SF 1/2 marathon I know that my Garmin sometimes measures miles long and thus gives me slower than reality splits. Tom's miles for the tempo were about 6:36-6:42 if remember correctly, while my miles were 7:05, 7:02, and 7 flat. It felt more like Tom's pace, it did not feel relaxing. So I wasn't able to accomplish my goal for the workout, though it seems it went well.
I want to throw my Garmin down and jump on it a couple of times. I would understand a couple of seconds variation, but how am I supposed to gauge my pace by that thing? I think it is often right on with pace, but how could I know for sure? I guess I will just have to watch the total time elapsed and calculate my mile splits in my head--the old fashioned way in St. George. This help eleviate my fears of getting bored on the road. I often get quite stupid and it can take me a couple of minutes to do the calculations if I am feeling extra loopy.

Had a nice short "long" run this morning. Tried out new flavors of Shot Blocks, with 1/2 and full caffiene to see how they felt.
Pushed the pace below 8 minute for several miles, two in the 7:30's.
Felt good, enjoyed the conversation, still feel twingy behind one knee. Will continue to ice and ibu.
Any advice on what days, how much running to do next week?
