4 mile jog. :)

3 minutes on the inversion table. It feels like sitting 7 hours a day in class are making my vertebrae squish together!!!! Aaah ... relief. :)

Now the tough part: figuring out what to wear tomorrow. I am think the running shoes are a must! :)

BEST OF TIMES TO ALL THOSE RUNNING OGDEN TOMORROW!!! HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE! :)

Not sure of my official time -- it never did show up on the computer.

Good character building stuff!!!! I think that is the best way to describe this race for me. Didn't do nearly as well as I thought I would have, but a great reality check! :) I have a list of what possibly went wrong, but they are just excuses. :) :) :)

I ran the race almost exactly as I planned through mile 20. Ran the tangents, felt strong. :) In fact, I distinctly remember virtually patting myself on the back at mile 20 telling myself how  incredibly awesome I was and that I had 3:27 in the bag and just might hit 3:25!!! OH HOW PRIDE PRECEDES THE FALL!!! Seriously within a couple of minutes of congratulating myself on my incredible fitness everything fell apart. I suddenly felt weak and exhausted. I decided to slow down a bit to re-energize but no matter what I did the feeling got worse and worse. At mile 23 I gave myself a good pep talk and was determined to reverse this trend. I knew if I could just gut it out for a few more miles that I could still hit 3:27. I gave it everything I had and ran that mile exactly at planned pace. After that the wheels completely came off. I lost a minute on mile 24, another on mile 25, another on mile 26 and then another with the course being long. I WAS SO MAD AND FRUSTRATED. I pointlessly tried to surge (my mind would attack but my body would not respond) as I watched 3 women pass me in the last mile. Very discouraging. Solid effort, just fell short.

BEST parts:

Hanging out with friends (esp. my SSF) before and after.

Feeling extremely cool to know so many elite runners and wishing them luck at the start! (I was worried about how Fritz would do after I saw the crazy huge deck burns on his leg ... but now I think he should pull a stunt like that before every race!!! WOW!!!!)

Meeting blogger friends that I had not met before :)

Slapping Slick's tooshie around mile 2

Running miles 3-15 with JohnnyV. Those were my favorite miles!!! Thanks, Johnny! :)

Having my son, Payton, waiting for me at the end! :) :) :)

My SIL (andrea27) had a HUGE half PR.

***************************************************************

Misc. info for myself:

*don't get cocky

*3 gus might not be enough

*consider walking through aid stations to get more fluid

*re-evaluate training plan/schedule -- determine best plan for running while in PT school

*make nutrition and sleep more of a priority

*don't compare myself to others, just do my best and be okay with that :) :) :)
