There were about 100-150 runners.  After a half mile I had worked my way up to fourth place with first place way ahead and second and third just ahead of me.  At about a mile the course turns and the guy in first didn't.  I was then passed the other two guys and I was in first place.  But it wasn't to last as the clearly faster runner that took the wrong turn recovered and passed me with about a half mile to go.

Mile times 6:36, 6:27, with the last .93 in a mile average of 6:10.

Race: Sandy Firestation Half (13.1 Miles) 01:36:28, Place overall: 4, Place in age division: 2

It was a perfect morning for a half marathon.  No wind and the temperature was about 50'.  Dallas and Rachel wanted to run a half marathon for Rachel's first half and they picked the Sandy Firestation half due to timing and cost.  I drove us up there and we got ready. 

My training has been terrible this year in the fact that I feel way slower than normal and my legs keep cramping up near the end of my long runs and I'm not even at race pace.  Turning 52 has not been nice to me, I have just slowed down and if I try to speed up I have problems. 

So due to my training I decided to run the pace I plan on running at St. George in three weeks which is about 10 minutes slower than last time I ran St. George and if I still felt good I'd run the last couple of miles of the half marathon as fast as I could.  This would help me determine if my marathon pace as right due to my slower old aged body.

First 4 miles:  7:00, 7:26, 8:17, 7:05 ( about 1:15 slower than last year)  The gun went off and there were no really fast runners that showed up with only about 60-70 runners.  A few years ago I would have been off and winning, but this year at mile one, 3 men and 1 woman were ahead of me.  At mile two the hill gets going and I passed two of the men but got passed by another woman.  From that time on the placement didn't change. 

Next 4 miles: 6:53, 7:00, 7:18, 7:10 ( about 1:20 slower than last year) These miles are slightly down hill and unfortunately I felt like I was at marathon pace and didn't have extra.

Next 5 miles: 7:00, 7:53, 8:23, 7:28, 6:53 ( about 1:30 slower than last year) With 5 miles to go I felt pretty good and that I was at about the right pace, however, with a couple of miles left I could tell my left thigh was thinking of cramping up.  I walked through the next aid station and took my time then I started again and my leg felt much better so I pushed the pace again but it only took a quarter mile for the beginning of the cramping sensation to return.  So instead of running a super fast last downhill mile with the possibility of catching one or two of the women that were ahead of me I just coasted to the finish.

Now I'm worried that I'm going to cramp up half way through the St. George marathon even if I go at a pace much slower than in past years.

It was a great day for a marathon.  Cool temperatures at the start (low to mid 40's) and probably low 60's when I finished. 

This year I got way out of shape over the winter and never did the training to get back into the shape I like need to get to so I have a chance of a sub 3.  I was surprised at how slow it took me to get back in any kind of shape in my older age.  So I knew going into the marathon that it would be slower one.  I thought I had a 5% chance of getting a 3:15 if everything went perfect, about a 7:26 pace.  Of course it didn't go perfect.

As usual I rode over to the start with Great Tom and Kim Lee.  It was Kim's 10th SGM and all in a row.  I tried to find some South Jordan friends at the start but didn't ever bump into them. 

When the gun finally went off I was feeling good.  I tried to keep the pace slow and easy. 

First 7 miles (7:40, 7:28, 7:05, 7:03, 7:15, 6:55, 7:07)  7:13 avg.

Next 6 miles (9:25 pit stop, 7:54, 7:57, 8:16, 7:54, 7:30) 8:27 avg.   At 13.1 I was at a 7:41 avg.  This is usually the time to hit some fast miles, but I could tell my legs were not ready for 13.1 more of fast miles. 

Next 7 miles (7:49, 7:22, 8:02, 7:46, 8:09, 8:42, 8:17)  When I was at about 15.5 miles my right lower calf started getting tight and soon after a felt a few tugs on the left quad.  I have a problem with cramping and it would get bad if I didn't back off to 8 minute miles.  I took a few walk breaks during this period to keep my legs cramp free.

Last 6.2 miles (8:04, 8:08, 8:11, 7:47, 8:03, 8:13, 1:45)  Next time I run the SGM I need to respect the distance and train so I can take advantage of all the down hill the last 6 miles.  I definitely got passed much more that I was passing the last 6 miles.
