I had a great time in Boston! The getaway was just what I needed. The running not so much. I really didnt prepare myself this year for it as I was trying to concentrate on getting my speed in the shorter distance races. I started out very conservatively which I patted myself on the back for later, but with no long runs in my training it really showed when i fell to pieces at mile 16.  I had a solid 19 miles of great running, probably wouldve hit about a 2:32 with the pace I had set. I couldnt go at mile 20 and when I hit Heartbreak at 20.5 I was done. I had 2 porta potti stops and several calve stops to stretch and from mile 21 on I just set a goal to run a mile and then stretch. I believe I got 3rd overall for Utahs men but Ill have to make sure. It was a good getaway race and thats all I can chalk it up for. I did hurt myself, My hip is destroyed so Im going to have it x-rayed tomorrow. I could see that one coming from the several half marathons in a row I did. But I didnt push myself to where my hip kept me from stopping and getting a ride back. I will try and update my status but will be taking it easy for a while and seeing if I can gear up for UVM. I ran into Nic Mccoombs at the finish and he had a horrible cough but did a 2:27 nevertheless! So awesome! I did get passed by James Moore from this blog also around the 6 mile mark and he looked great.

I went down to the park trail at 90th south and 700 west at 730 with Danielle and did a nice and easy pace with her for 11 miles about an 8 pace. Then my last 4 miles were 6:45, 6:42, 6:30, and 5:42. Yeah, im crazy for doing that, I have pain in my siatic or however you spell that. It was a very nice day to run. Lots of Team in Training on the trail.
