Today I wasn't real motivated to get out and run for a few reasons.

One: I stayed up after midnight for the third straight night and finish my final web project for my College course (I can got to bed early tonight!!!!!!!).

Two: My mind my body was tired from the late nights and a lot of work put in for this conversion at work.

Three: I can't remember when I've been so depressed that I can't run the Ogden Marathon, it's put me in a sad,"feel sorry for myself" mood. I think this is the biggest reason of all that I was unmotivated.

But I quickly got over my immature attitude and headed out the door. Even though I was tired and lacked energy, I decided to stick to my training and do 6 yasso 800's but instead of jogging 800m's between each one I experimented and only did 400m's between each one. I wanted to see what I could do with a tired body and make it tough, because this what's going to make a difference in a marathon

The splits are not impressive, but I guess not bad for a tired body.

1. 2:54

2. 3:01

3. 2:56

4. 2:58

5. 2:55

6. 2:54

Then I did some running afterwards, and ran a few marathon pace miles. I will have to get my Garmin to get the rest of the statistics for the run. I used my stopwatch for the track splits and my Garmin for the overall run. Total 10.01 miles.

 

I also ran and walk 2 miles with my wife, dog and the kids.  Just kind of a fun run.

Kory,

Too bad about you not being able to come run Ogden. I know you are in shape to run well. Don't let it get you down too much as you will have more opportunities this year to go for a good time. Have you considered the Top of Utah Marathon? With another good stint of summer training and high mileage you coule truthfully be ready to run a sub 2:40 by then. I know how you feel with trying to stay focused and motivated as this month was a tough one for me. It will all come together for you in the near future. I look forward to meeting you one of these days.

I ran Top Of Utah last year and plan to run it again this year. I did it last year in 3:02, but I'm so much more trained this year that your right I could do pretty good. I hope you pace well at the Ogden Marathon I will be praying for I'll you guys running that day. I know that our paths will cross and that will be fun. Who's the favorite this year to win?
