mmm. as I look back on the past two months...there is no way you would guess that I am training for (and have) and marathon this coming Saturday. Not exactly sure what happened (many things) and now am nervous that I am not ready. Goal is to put in more weekly runs this summer. 3 more weeks left of school...I can do this.
Can't remember time, but average pace for the 8 this beautiful morning was 9:02...so we'll see how sat goes. no use in boo-hoo'ing over the past. just looking forward to the future!! | | Comments(1) |

Ogden Marathon (26.2 Miles) 04:25:46, Place in age division: 905 | |
First 16 miles I was so strong..no pain and averaged a 9:05 pace. Started feeling ill to stomach, finally at 18 I gelled and dry heaved....that was pleasant. The hills were killing my leg, shooting pain in the i-t band area. Finally, the last five miles were tears, hobble/walk to the finish (most important) I did finish. What a crazy day of emotions, pain and joy :) Even though I swore I would never run another marathon...I'm looking at flat ones for this fall already! Weather was terrific, beautiful view and awesome aide stations everywhere!! | | Comments(4) |
| | Was able to run my first run since the marathon. Ran w/Alana six miles (wind of course) didn't feel the i-t band until mile five-ish. I have iced and rolled. Feel it now walking around, but not in pain at all. Think I will keep miles between 4-6 for the week and go from there. Ice and roll...ice and roll....cross train now. Gotta get this core into shape!! Time was 54:52 | | Add Comment |
