Ran the Pocatello Marathon Course with Barry. Well, Barry started at the Half Marathon start and I started at the Marathon start. I ran 18.4 at an overall 6:25 pace in 1:58. I felt really good about just running for myself for the first time in along time. Running should be fun with no pressure. Very brief on the splits no time.
Splits Mile 1: 6:18 Mile 2: 6:21 Mile 3: 6:13 Mile 4: 6:26 (I wanted to slow down because I ran high miles yesterday and didn't want to burn myself out, and I did take much fluid with me.) Mile 5: 6:20 Mile 6: 6:16 Mile 7: 6:19 Mile 8 6:50 (.5 uphill dropped my water bottle as well). Mile 9: 6:29 Mile 10: 6:18 (Jeff this is where we can take it easier to get ready for the second half). Mile 11: 6:19 Mile 12: 6:20 Mile 13: 6:41 (Little uphill that always gets me and I don't know why). Mile 14; 6:21 (flat) Mile 15 6:38 (some uphill, but mostly flat) Mile 16 6 :37 (some uphill and flat again) Mile 17 6:44 (.5 uphill and flat) Mile 18 6:09 (start of mile uphill then is flat for the rest of the mile) Evening: did 3 100m strides to loosen the legs up.
