Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences. I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn. I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
4.00	0.00	4.00

4 miles - 9:15 pace. First mile was 10:05. I want to be SMART about my recovery. After UVM last Summer I went straight back to racing and it ended up basically ruining my summer of racing. My plan for recovery is to run but as slow as my body needs to go. I don't plan to crack 9mm for at least 2 weeks.

Final Boston thoughts: (are you guys sick of me talking about Boston yet?)

I am sunburnt really bad. I wore sunscreen and I have a darker complextion and I'm still fried to a crisp. It was HOT!
I finished 2035/21554 which to most people on this blog is not that cool but considering I started in the very back of wave 2 (13745) I am pretty happy about it.
After hearing all of the horror stories at the airport, from friends, complete strangers, ect I concluded that I was simply lucky. Yesterday when I got home I was talking to my sister and said "I think I just got really lucky." She responded that I trained my ass off and executed an incredibly smart race. She is right. Maybe there was a little bit of luck, and yes I could have done things smarter. But overall I was prepared and ran what I had trained for.
I failed to mention yesterday that my feet felt like they were on fire from mile 19-26. I think this is definitely something to do with the heat and fortunetely they feel fine now.
Boston was an absolutely amazing trip and the marathon was really just the icing on the cake. :)

Whats next? I honestly have no idea. I'm not signed up for anyting until June. I am not sure it would be smart to run another Summer marathon so I may wait until fall. We shall see.....

i know of a great early fall marathon that takes place in logan...

Luck had nothing to do with it. You trained well and raced smart. Don't let "luck" have the credit that you deserve. Looks like a smart recovery plan.

Run TOU w/ all of us!

Rachelle you didn't get lucky. You earned every single bit of what you did. Sometimes those magic races do involve a little luck, but we had ZERO luck on our side on Monday... it was 87 FREAKING DEGREES!!! I say this completely objectively - I think if the weather was 40 degrees cooler on Monday, you would have run well under 3:15. I've been saying that for weeks to everyone who will listen... ask Andrea and Allie :-)

Be smart in these next 2 weeks. You have a lot to be proud of, and the sky is seriously the limit for you going forward.

I commend you for listening to your body and being smart. You totally earned it. My Aunt ran UVM last year at got a 3;35. She ran Boston and got over 4 hours... The heat was horrible. You def trained and luck has nothing to do with it.

My buddy at work is organizing a relay starting in Torrey, through Capitol Reef and Zions. It's the last week of June...Come one come all. We should put together a FRB team. http://topofzion.com/

my feet (not just my hurt one) were so sore and on fire too. I didn't realize it was the heat but Jake mentioned it too so I am sure that was what it was. Both feet extremely sore walking around. I don't think I told you that I didn't get back to my hotel 12 miles below Hopkinton until 9pm!! I was still in my race gear and bib and medal around my neck!!! We walked all over after that race.

Oh and I agree with Jake. You are a person that can take cheering and pacing. Not too many can still move with someone beside them to get them to move. That is how amazed I was about you at the Halloween Half when you ran the 1:26 and were trying for 1:30. Your potential is yet to be found. Wish I were 25 again with you :D.

TOU...YES!! all YOU. so much nicer than SG. Truth be told.

From Carina on Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 17:13:32 from 204.15.86.83

OOoo.... TOU! I might even attempt it. I'm going to have to play it by ear to see how soon I can recover from baby, but it does sound like a party :)
