The legs were feeling somewhat rested....hahahaha I ran the Huntsman Senior Games half this morning. Went out too fast but it felt okay. Ended up getting in a groove and tried to keep the effort minimal and consistent. My goal was to run an 8:00 pace for the race and just enjoy it. I also wanted to run the complete distance without stopping for walk breaks along the way. I only stopped to get water at the aid stations and kept it minimal. Felt good until the last 2 miles. The left leg was getting tired and all I could remember was cramping in the marathon. I basically used the right leg to push and the left was just following. I ended up with a 7:35 average pace! Bronze medal in my age group 50-54. Time to heal up................................... SPLITS: 6:52/ 7:09/ 7:24/ 7:31/ 7:35/ 7:45/ 7:53/ 7:58/ 8:08/ 7:53/ 8:07/ 7:57/ 7:43 I went over 1800 miles running for the year today. To me this is unbelievable! I will easily go over 2000 miles for the year. That is by far more miles running in one year than I have have run my whole life.
