2 miles at 8:00.

7 x 3 minutes at 5:56 pace, one minute between sets.  First speed work in months.

5 minute elliptical cooldown.

Sorry my posts have been boring.  Thanks all for the concern.  Happy to report that my dad is doing much better, but of course, there is still uncertainty as to what is next.

p.m after coaching soccer  2 at 8:00.

3 at 8.5, random incline level 5.  1.75 at 8:00 .25 at 5:30 but -3% decline, just to stretch out.

My dad has improved so that today he is transferring to a rehab facility.  Amazing, 10 days ago the doctors were telling us to prepare for end of life decisions as he was gravely, ill.  For some reason, he is resilient and has bounced back from death's doors again.  We will see how he improves.  Hopefully, things will get more back to normal for everyone, especially him.

 

Since he is gone from the ICU, I will now post the following, hoping to lighten the mood.



I know, I've been a poor blogger, missing out on all you friends.

This sort of race would take incredible nerves or perhaps, simply incredible indifference.


Super Fly.

Mentally, I was very weak (no real excuse for all the walking I did).  I will post splits and details later.


 1
6:54  Running with AmberG, mooching off of her awesomeness.
 2
7:16 14:11Nothing much happening.
 3
 7:31 21:43Backed off, letting Amber run ahead.
 4
 7:12 28:55Already some dang headwinds messing with my brain.
 5
 6:49 35:44I love downhill.
 6
 7:25 43:09Uphill stretch
 7
 7:01 50:11Steady uphill begins after last little downhill jaunt for a while.
 8
 7:43 57:50Alone in the wind.
 9
 7:36 1:05:31Mentally not into it.
 10
 7:28 1:12:59Still chugging along.
 11
 7:39 1:20:38Last year this felt better.
 12
 7:50 1:28:29Holding back, bad aid station exchange at last one.
 13
 7:47 1:36:17

Noted half (Garmin) around

Half in 1:37:xx 

Woman who ended up in second passed me around here.

 14
 8:03 1:44:20Already I was wanting to skip the uphill.
 15
 8:47 1:53:07Pulling way back on the pace.  Lame
 16
 10:54 2:04:02Major wuss out and walked to crest of Deer Valley.  Gave away almost 3 minutes in this mile compared to last year.
 17
 7:36
 2:11:40At least I started moving again.
 18
 7:23 2:19:04Did not really open up like I should have on the downhill.
 19
 8:39 2:27:44I never really get going again.  Not so concerned about walking Empire its the walk leading up to and after that was LAME.  I do recall telling the photographer that it was a poor place to take photos of everyone walking the hill.  I wonder if she moved.
 20
 8:29 2:36:13Slacking big time, walking and even waited for Patrick Clifford to run up on me so I might have some company.
 21
 7:162:43:29
Finally got moving again, thanks to Patrick
 22
 8:01 2:51:30I've got to learn to keep running even when it doesn't seem to matter.
 23
 7:25 2:50:29Running with Patrick still.
 24
 7:22 2:59:41Ironically, I'm not breathing anywhere near as hard as Patrick, I just won't suck it up.
 25
 8:45 3:09:45No chance for 3:20 so I let Patrick go, and I dog another mile with some walking.
 26
 8:12 3:23:16Walking until I decide its time to run.  Actually hit 5:15 pace when I decided to go as the finish was near.
26.2

0:28  (5:14 pace)
3:23:44 (4 seconds late in stopping compared to chip time.)
 All my resting made this part of the run very easy.  Best pace was actually 4:54 during this little stretch and I didn't sprint full out.  Lame to have so much left in the tank.

  Lots of work to do before SGM.
