This course for some reason is always the course I run if I'm able to do one city race. It's the toughest because of the uphill and downhill for the layout of the course. The course was short at 5.99 rather than 6.2 this year. I think they moved it up this year or something. I actually ran past the finish line thinking we had more to run and it cost me 10 seconds, but no big deal 10 seconds is not important in a race. I was nervous and scared going into the race because of the Sciatic nerve pain I've had, and the fact I've done zero speed work for 6 weeks. I've really been in some serious pain the last 5 weeks to where I had some thoughts I didn't want to ever run again. I had three deep massages leading up to this fun race, plus tons and tons of stretching. I decided if I felt bad I would back off and run with my friend Barry on the blog.

Mile 1 |
(downhill for .4 than uphill) | 6:35 | Just taking it easy very conservative. I was feeling out how the body was adapting to the first mile. No pain the first mile.
2008: 6:28
2009: 6:41
|
Mile 2
|
(uphill then rolling) | 6:26 | Decided to pick it up a little more but still conservative. I was in this race for fun and to not hurt, or try to push and win. Although, I was currently in 4th place.
2008: 6:16 2009: 6:38
|
Mile 3
|
(downhill) | 5:30 | Okay, decided to open it up a little more on the downhill. I past the third place runner at this point. Still no pain. At this point I felt I could catch the second place runner who was about 300 meters ahead of me.
2008: 5:31
2009: 5:33
|
Mile 4
|
(Flat) | 5:40 | 5:40 on this flat mile was slow compared to the last two years, but again being injured and not in race mode I really didn't care or was discouraged. I was glad to be out there running. This mile went well and again no pain. Was gaining on the second place runner who was 40 meters ahead.
2008: 5:28
2009: 5:30
|
Mile 5
|
(Mostly Uphill) | 6:15 | This uphill stretch is where I've been strong in the past. I was able to pass the second place runner and the leader was only 20 meters ahead.
2008: 5:57
2009: 6:14
|
Mile 6
|
(uphill) | 7:00
| I didn't have as much left as I usually do on this mile of the course. Definitely lack of training and fitness. I really slowed down and wasn't able to catch the leader even though I gained. Then when we turned I went right by the finish line and had to turn back to the finish line. I thought we had more to run because my garmin was at 5.99. Oh well no big deal.

All in all I'm happy. I really thought I was going to hurt or even if I didn't (as was the case) I didn't think I would run this well on a hard course. I'm very humbled for God allowing me to do well and stay pain free. He deserves the credit and glory. Where I go from here is where God wants me to race. I'm just not into running a lot of Marathon's anymore, and just want to have fun and run pain-free. I've had injures pile up to where my perception on running has changed.
You have to look at your life and find what that spiritual importance is. Running a better marathon time is not going to get me closer to God or really make me happy for the long term. Will see what God directs for me in the future.

| Rest. Always nice to have a day off from running, but serving the Lord is a 24/7 thing. Praise God for God's presence. The Holy Spirit has blessed me in a way that I can't describe. |

Easy run. Soreness from the run on Saturday. Evening: Another

time. I have a new passion like never before. |

| Easy Run. Another great night of prayer. God is passionate when we
allow the spirit within us to connect to him. I have a call to be a preacher and I no longer going to deny that. When you run away from what God wants you to do no matter whatever else you do in life cannot make you happy. You will always feel miserable and missing something.

Easy Run. Did one mile at 6:17. I still have soreness in the hip that's not going away, but running is not important to me as much anymore. The presence of God is what's important. Great night of prayer.

Bill Mandler picked me up at 6am and we headed up to the Pocatello Marathon course. We both ran slow for 16 miles, then I started getting a little head of Bill because he had a hotspot on the heel. If you've ever tried to run with one it's painful. God bless him finishing with 22 miles. I really didn't do anything marathon pace wise because my hip still is bothering me and I didn't want to do anything fast. The last three miles were getting pretty hot so I picked it up a bit. I ran the mile before Century hill at 6:54 and then Century Hill at 7:11. Good run for 24.01 miles at an overall 7:34 pace in 3:01. I just wanted a slow endurance run since I haven't done anything over 20 miles since January.
Bill and I stretched at mile 12.5 then we looked like old men starting back up again. It was a good laugh. Bill thanks it was fun running with you. We need to do it again. Bill is a terrific runner and can run awesome even when hurt.

| Nice weather and still sore from the run on Saturday. My quads are tight and sore. It would be nice to be able to run free without feeling some sort of pain. Ran with Barry. Very warm today. We ran around Davis field track for a complete mile. That was different and fun. 10.32 miles at an easy 7:42 pace.

Ran down Buckskin with Barry. I still real sore but he wanted to do 4 minute repeats and a 2 minute rest. I just decided to do a 4 mile tempo. Once I slow down then I have the sore pain in the quads from Saturday's run. I just did the 4 mile tempo after we got on the flat part coming down Pocatello Creek.
6:24 - easing into it
6:02 - easy but felt soreness
6:02 - wanted to just stay at MP and not difficult.
5:54 - picked it up because I knew it was the last one.
Once I slowed down I really felt soreness in the quads and hip or sciatic nerve (my lingering pain).
10.41 miles at an 6:47 pace.

| Crawling along today after tempo miles yesterday. Very good slow recovery run at 9.11 miles today at an overall 8:18 pace in 1:15:40. My quad (inner part) on the left leg has a swollen knot in it. It's sore. I did do an ending faster mile at 6:09. My body is just not recovering very good, and making runs difficult. I hope I can survive the long run on Saturday.

| Ran the Pocatello Marathon Course by myself starting around 6:20am. Barry dropped me off as he did the half marathon part section. I ran 21.3 miles of the course at a 6:59 pace. Hip still nagging me a bit but not as bad. But will have to see how I feel the next few days after the second 20 miler in two weeks. |

| Ran with Barry this morning did a faster mile at the end. Ran out to old town behind the Pocatello Charter school Greenway trail. Hip was sore. Ran on the Grass doing tempo drills. Trying to get a quick stride rate and land on the forefront. This was at Davis Field at a running clinic that was held.

| Barry and I ran late today at 10am, because I worked till 5am (15 hour day) this morning. It was hot at 70 degrees and I took 8 oz of power zero. I never really got hot and started drinking the power zero at mile 4. But my legs were really heavy and tired. I finally got going a bit the last two miles but nothing special (7:34, 6;56). Not surprising on 4 hours of sleep. Went back in to work at 1pm could of had the day-off but was bored.
