Todays run was a bit of a wreck, was going to run 15 miles, didn't happen, was going to do a hill simulation, didn't happen. A combination of still being sore from yesterdays tempo run, a terrible day of taking clients out to lunch and a late dinner and eating a ridiculous amount of really bad food, and being very depressed to find out that I probably can't run Ogden Marathon now due to work conflict. I really enjoy my job, and for the most part think it actually enables me to run, but it is not at all conducive to running marathons. Seeing that you need to be able to plan out at least 6 months in advance for a marathon, and sometimes I don't find out my work schedule until 2 weeks before something happens, it really creates a problem and I don't know what to do about it. I've been visualizing the Ogden course on my runs for 3 months now, so this morning not having any thing to visualize it was really quite... lame. After about 7 miles I kind of found a groove, but by then I was tired. Distance | Time | Avg Pace
