| I have another soccer game on Thursday but I'm not sure I'm going to play. I was a little worried about getting hurt on Saturday and not being able to run in Ogden. I also woke up sore in some strange places. Soccer definately works a different set of muscles than running. | | Add Comment |

| Met the BBK group this morning at Bingham HS. We ran 3 easy miles through the neighborhoods then moved onto the track. I didn't join the group for the track workout but instead just kept running a nice easy pace around the track for an additional 3 miles. My splits were: 9:00, 9:02, 8:48, 8:56, 8:56 and 8:44, for an AP of 8:55. This run felt great. I love how I feel after getting up and working out in the morning. I have so much more energy for the rest of the day. I need to force myself to do it on mornings the BBK group doesn't meet, but I'm not really keen on the idea of running by myself in the dark or running on the treadmill. YEAH! I got into St. George, and it sounds like a good majority of the regular BBK'ers did too. I am very pleased to have another event to train for. My goal is to increase my weekly mileage so that I can feel more confident than I do for Ogden. | | Add Comment |

| Met the BBK group this morning at BHS. We took it really easy. It was nice. I ran the first 4 miles with the group and then headed back on my own. I picked up my pace for the last mile just to get a feel for my marathon pace. This was an awesome run, its kind of nice to "shuffle" along. | | Comments(1) |

Remind me again why we do this? I should be elated, my ultimate goal was a 3:30 and my I'll be happy goal was 3:45 (BQ)- but I'm not. I had maintained an 8:03 average page until the last 5 miles, at which time my legs did not want to continue and my right quad started to spasm so I ended up walking at least 1/10 of each mile. I guess what I really want is to complete an entire marathon without having to walk. So, as I think back over the race I wonder if I went out to fast, or was my training not good enough or am I just a wimp? Pain is temporary so why couldn't I just push through it? My splits on my Garmin were as follows: 8:15, 7:43, 7:39, 7:35, 7:39, 7:47, 7:44, 7:47, 7:54, 7:57, 8:00, 8:07, 8:10, 8:13, 8:25, 8:15, 8:22, 7:59, 8:14, 8:09, 8:25, 8:32, 7:46, 8:53, 9:13, 9:59, 2:52 (.33 mi). The last 3 miles cost me at least 4 minutes- Grrr- I was so close to my 3:30 goal. Just a note- no matter how cute it is or who gives it to you never wear a new outfit on race day. My daughter gave me a hot pink running skirt for Mothers day so I felt I should wear it, Not such a good idea- it's bad enough to have tired thighs but tired, raw thighs really stinks. Add to that 2 black toenails, and two quarter sized blisters. And I chose to do this to myself. OK- I feel better now. The course was beautiful, and the aid stations were wonderful. A little better training and some experience and I will rock this course! Maybe next year. St. George here I come. Oh- and I can't forget Wasatch Back and Hobblecreek. Does anyone know how to prevent muscle spasms? This is my second marathon and I have had them in both at about the same mile marker. | | Comments(10) |
