Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
5.04	12.00	2.00	0.00	19.04

I ran 19.04 miles at an overall 6:17 pace in 1:59. I wanted a faster pace today on the Pocatello Marathon course. I got up at 4:20am to get ready and started running on the course at 5:20. I didn't sleep hardly at all, because my stomach had weird issue, which I believed was caused by me eating too much for dinner. But I felt energized when I got up.

Splits

Mile 1: 6:37

Mile 2: 6:26 (saw a moose in the middle of the road and he decided to move when I got about 15 feet away. I was scared and the only defense I had was my water bottle).

Mile 3: 6:18 (cruising along in the dark)

Mile 4: 6:20 (trying to stay at a consistent pace)

Mile 5: 6:19 (felt easy, but my stomach was still bothering me)

Mile 6: 6:17 (Still in the dark and my split were consistent. I felt very alone in the mountians in the dark)

Mile 7: 6:31

Mile 8: 6:33

Mile 9: 6:17 (I see light which got me excited)

Mile 10: 6:03 (I wanted to start picking up the pace because my wife was going to pick me up at 7:15am. This gave me the motivation to go faster)

Mile 11: 6:08

Mile 12: 5:55 (Heading out of the mountain into Inkom. Pace felt pretty easy)

Mile 13: 6:19

Mile 14: 6:03

Mile 15: 6:26 (Here's the rolling hills the next two miles, but more uphill than downhill by far)

Mile 16: 6:36

Mile 17: 6:29

Mile 18: 5:46 (I turned on the jets because I knew my wife would be on the course to pick me up and I wanted to really get a couple good last miles. This didn't feel too bad)

Mile 19: 6:07 (Done.. now time to see my kids off for church camp till Tuesday. This last mile felt real easy.)

19 miles in under 2 hours? Nice workout, especially at the end of a nice week. Though I'm trying to picture you attacking a moose with a water bottle- ha!

From Paul Ivory on Sat, Aug 02, 2008 at 17:06:33

Kory, same here. I have never heard of a runner challenging a moose. Awesome workout, how do yo do it?

Nice run you're getting in some fast 20 milers. Whats the course record for Pocatello? Do you think you've got a crack at it?

From JimF on Sat, Aug 02, 2008 at 18:06:41

Very nice run considering the stomach issues!

From wheakory on Sat, Aug 02, 2008 at 21:02:08

Dave S. I believe the record is 2:41, but I'm going to focus on feeling good and getting into a consistent pace. I'm not going to make any record promises. I want to prove to myself that I can perform well whatever the time maybe.

Paul Ivory - I don't know how I do it, I'm never been so focus on running a marathon course well. I know every turn of this course. The moose did scare me, but I really didn't know what to do.

Kory - Your training has looked really strong the last couple of months. A good tempo run on Thurs and a good long run at a fast pace on Saturday.

Seeing moose is one thing I miss about Pocatello. We used to see them all the time up in Gibson Jack, Mink Creek, Valvehouse draw etc when we ran up there.
