| | Race: |
The Boston Marathon (26.2 Miles) 04:31:54, Place overall: 20654, Place in age division: 236 | | Each year's Boston Marathon Marathon is memorable in its own right, and the 2018 edition will be remembered by me from my first steps in training through crossing the finish line on Boylston Street. I will remember this Boston Marathon as the one with the worst combination of foul weather I've encountered while participating in the Boston Marathon since my first run as a participant in 2000.
From the moment I arrived at the Athletes Village in Hopkinton prior to the start of the Marathon I had announced to others and myself that I would be making the decision on how I would run the Boston there in the atheletes village based on the conditions that were present. At the athletes village when I arrived the conditions that were present and projected to be continuing through the race were heavy winds out of the NE with gusts up to 60 mph. Very cold temperatures and Noreaster type heavy rain. I found myself putting on a rain poncho before getting off the bus because of the poor weather conditions and not wanting to be soaked to the bone before the race even started.
While huddled under the huge circus like tents with thousands of other wet, cold runners that were dismayed with the weather conditions standing in a field of mud and standing water trying to keep our running clothing and shoes from getting wet and our bodies from getting cold before the race. I made my decision that I would run this race but only to finish. I had stated earlier that I have a "BQ" for the Boston Marathon 2019 race so I would run this Boston Marathon to finish, and finish it without getting sick or injured. It was raining so hard and the wind was blowing everything around me so hard that it blew out the announcing system in the tint I was sheltering in before the race so much so that I missed my call to my starting wave and corral and started with a whole bunch of runners at the tail end of the fourth wave.
Even starting at the back of the pack and sticking with my race plan I still managed to pass about 6000 runners on my journey thru the vicious winds, the roads running like rivers and the freezing temperatures. From the beginning of my race until I finished the rain continue to fall, the wind blew like it was going out of style and the temperatures dipped below freezing. My thoughts during my run to the finish line were to finish this marathon as soon as I could and in the best condition I possibly could and then find my way to my room to get dry and warm.
I continued to wear a rain poncho for 26 miles of the race only dumping it about the time I was running from Beacon street to Hereford. On Hereford street there were so many ponchos, rain coats and garbage bags thrown on the ground that it was dangerous to pass on to Boylston street to the finish line.
As I usually do as one of my traditions, I get out a big cigar to lead me to the finish line as I'm passing the huge Citgo Sign at the one mile to go mark of the race on Beacon street across the road from Fenway Park. Not even the horrendous weather could stop me from flying my victory cigar and wearing my red, white and blue patriotic USA flag running clothing to the finish line......
I finished the race in a little over an hour longer than I had planned on running this Boston with a 4 hour 31 minute & 54 second. So with all that in mind, I am excited and can hardly wait till I can return to the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon in 2019. This is the Greatest and Longest running Marathon in the United States of America and I hope to be a part of it as long as I can will my short, fat, old man body down the road to the finish line!!!!!!!
One last thought, I would like to thank the thousands and thousands of people that lined the streets from Hopkinton to Boston and cheered on the runners to finish this race!

|
| | Race: |
The Deseret News Marathon/10k (6.214 Miles) 00:52:23, Place overall: 294, Place in age division: 3 | | It was a pretty good to run the Des News Marathon 10k. I'm helping Troy train for the St George Marathon (October 6, 2018) and included in the training program I have scheduled in 4 races including 2 - 5ks, 1 - 10K, a 1/2 Marathon and then the St George Marathon... Today we did the 10K where we practiced running a well controlled start and a gradual increase in speed until we were at a comfortable pace for Troy. There was a 10k field of about 1042 runners entered into the 10k this fine day. Starting temperature was 70* at 6:00am, it was a semi dark start with a very little breeze at about 5 mph and humidity at 26% .
I promised Troy I would run step for step with him though out the race and coach him along noting posture, stride & foot strike, breathing, and over all good race form & focus!
The race went very well and our race strategie was spot on for Troy and myself for that matter. As we rounded the last corner and were about 6 large city blocks ( about 1 mile) and could see the banner over the finish line, we were still running shoulder to shoulder. Then at about 75 yards to the finish, Troy attempted to "Snake" the race away and pulled ahead of me! As I noticed him make his break away I answered the bell and kicked in a faster gear and passed him and beat him over the finish line. I played nice and only beat him by couple of steps. Like I said, it was a really fun 10k.
This 10K is run on a State Of Utah Holiday known as Pioneer Day / The days of 1847! This is when the Pioneers entered the Salt Lake City Utah valley. During the last 2 miles of the race you get to run down the parade route with all the cheering parade and runners fans.....pretty fun!
I ended this race with the following stats;
Time: 52:23
AG Pos; 3rd out of 20 (M65 - 69)
Gender Place; 199 of 497
Overall Finish Position; 294 of 1042
Pace; 8:27/M
Now we've got 20 days until our next race which will be Porter's Half Marathon which runs from the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon down my favorite run on the Dimple Dell Mt Rd., dam near right past my home on the way to the finish line in the Draper City park. This will be running on my home turf, I know the course like the back of my hand and were gunna have a really great race.......

| | Race: |
Porter's Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:56:35, Place overall: 33, Place in age division: 2 | | Not too much to report here. It was a really crappy day running in all the smoke from the local Utah fires and the imported smoke from all the fires in California. It was so bad too breath and twice as bad to look at before you sucked it in! This was the first time that I have run this Half Mary and I did it with Troy. We used this race as a medium long run under load as we train for the St George Marathon in 57 days. At the starting line it was 70* with a very light smokey breeze. The half Mary starts at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon at the 5400 ft elevation and ended at the Draper City Park. It was a very gentle downhill run where you could kick up your pace if you could breathe.... It actually was a rather nice course and I will probably do it again, hopefully in better air condition. Troy and I started together and maintained a sub 8 minute mile pace for about 5 miles before the smoke choked us out and trashed our pace and race plan. Troy ended up #44th place/106 overall / 7th in AG / 11, I came in 33rd overall and 2nd/4 in AG, about a minute behind a 60 year old guy. Porter's Half Mary grouped my (M 65-69) AG into a 10 year AG of (M 60 - 69) so I had to run with some younger competition in the smoky gunkey air. Oh well, now it's time to get ready to do the St George Marathon in 57 days.......TYI

I bumped into sweet Ms. RAD and her son Adam (fartlek). Adam is an amazing 8 year old runner and he beat this old man to the finish line this day, attaboy Adam! Adam wasn’t the only body to beat the old Tom Slick to the finish line, Troy my good friend who I trained up for his first two marathons beat me to the finish line for his first time ever!
