Monday
Today I run 8.3 miles in the morning at a 6:58 pace in 58:15 minutes on my standard Satterfield hilly course. I couldn't run as long, because I had to take my daughter to the dentist. I wanted to end the last four miles on the run at a faster pace and I achieved that (6:31, 6:13, 6:23, 6:40).

Lunch Hour:
Ran 2.3 miles on my lunch hour on the treadmill at the gym. This was just a warm-up so that I could do some strength training. The only excitement was watching ESPN while I was running. Can you guys believe the news about Brett Farve? He does deserve a better receiving group, and getting Moss would have really helped their changes this year. But you shouldn't whine about it and asked to be traded... if that's true.

Total miles today 10.6

I think as usual the media has blown the Favre thing out of proportion. He later posted a note on the Packer website stating that he never wanted to be traded.

Go Pack!

Kory,

You asked what I thought I could run a marathon in right now. I guess we will find out on Saturday. However, I am not really sure right now. I am hoping sub 2:45 at Ogden if all goes well but we will see what happens. I know I am in better shape than when I ran my first marathon bsaed on workouts and I ran a 2:47 then with negative splits of 1:25 & 1:22.

Oh yeah, so you know I think you are in better marathon shape than I am right now so that is why I keep telling you that a sub 2:45 should be your minimum goal at Teton.

I am not in St. George either so right now I am looking at Top of Utah as a Fall marathon. Maybe you can make it down for TOU.

I'm definitely running Top of Utah. I ran it last year very sick, with a temperature over 100 and cold and hot chills and my stomach was irritated the whole run. I couldn't keep water or gels down. I finished with a 3:02, but I was so confident coming into it last year that I would get under 3. I must have vomited at least 5 times on the run. I was ready to finish and get back to the hotel and climb in bed. I was really stupid for running on that day, but I didn't want to waste money so instead I risk my health which was the wrong choice. I definitely want to redeem myself by running it this year.

My problem with running a 2:45 right now is I don't feel I have enough MP miles on my long runs at this pace. I would really have to do that this weeked before June 9th, but will see.

Kory - I rarely hit my actual race pace in my MP runs. The reason being I am not tapered, I usually do not have anybody to run with, and in the back of my mind I am thinking this is a training run. To give you an example - two days before the Strider's 30 K I run a 5 mile tempo on a mostly flat course alone in 28:27, and that was closer to threshold effort-wise than marathon pace. In fact, I went out at threshold and could not hold it. Two days later, still untapered, but with more glycogen in my system after some panic carbo-loading I have somebody to run with. I am now 500 feet higher and on a slower course. I am running over 3 times the distance, but because I have somebody to run with I run the first 5 miles in 28:57, second in 28:55, followed by 29:16, and then maintaining 6:00 mile pace on the last 3 uphill miles, and feeling in control, like I could go longer if I had to.

Do not worry about not hitting your actual race pace in training. You will go much faster in a race.

From Paul Petersen on Tue, May 15, 2007 at 17:34:26

I echo Sasha's comment here. The week before the Striders half marathon, I did a 4-mile tempo down Blacksmith Fork. I could barely hold 5:30 miles. 1 week later, I averaged 5:18/mile for the entire half marathon.

Just last week, I was running mile repeats at 5:18/mile on the track. Cody jumped in the fourth interval and paced me for the first and last lap. That interval was a 5:11 and felt much easier than the first three...all from having a another person in there with me.

Other people plus "race-day magic" make a HUGE difference! Your mind puts up large mental blocks during training sessions.

Thanks guys I guess I need to run with confidence instead of statistics. You guys have a great run in Ogden
