Here's a photo in the Idaho State journal Advertising our sponsored shirt. Although I'm bummed that they didn't mention anything about our fastrunningblog.com web site. I mentioned several times that this is the place where I got my marathon training breakthru.
http://idahostatejournal.com/articles/2008/08/31/news/local/2.txt more at http://idahostatejournal.com Ran the dog this morning 5.21 miles at an overall 8:23 pace in 43:40. Quads were sore after the marathon today. That's good, because that means I was aggressive and worked hard yesterday. I also road my bike about 5 miles after the marathon yesterday to loosen up the legs. I'm going to ride it to church this morning as well. My whole family is sick but me.

| No running today I thought I would give the legs a rest. They do feel pretty good, other than the quads still are sore which I expected because of the aggressive downhill running. I'm going to ride my bike today to the store to get some exercise. My wife is still sick but feeling better. Thanks again everyone with all your comments and support and advice and confidence booster's for the race.

Very cold this morning at 34 degrees. I still wore shorts with a singlet, and put on my arm warmers and gloves. The quads were not really sore today, and I felt really good. I'm glad I was real sore the last few days, because I knew I was more aggressive and pushed myself better in the marathon. I ran 9.2 miles at an overall 7:25 pace in 1:08 going down Hiline Rd, then turning on Yellowstone, then turning Poleline, and then turning on Alameda Rd. Finally turning on Mckinley Ave. I probably will only do single runs the rest of the week to get a good recovery, and not try to push back fast into the training cycle like I usually do. Now I just need to figure out what I want to run in October. I'm definitely leaning not running TOU which I've ran the last two years. (Asics Trainers 13 - 311 miles)

This morning it was 42 degrees and I wore some thin insulated gloves (the dollars gloves you get at the store). I'm really not looking follow to winter. Before I started running in the morning now over two years ago, I used to love winter and hate the heat. Now I'm thinking that running in the winter isn't fun, and the heat I still hate but isn't that bad. Oh well you can't have a box of donuts at your door step every day that's just life This morning I ran 9.20 miles at an overall 7:17 pace in 1:07. I did a major hill climb today of over 2 miles from my house all the way to the top of Hospital Way Rd. On the downhill I did some faster miles, but still taking it easy to keep the recovery going (6:21, 6:57). This will be the only run again. When you go over Hospital Way Rd. it will drop you down in the upper campus area of Idaho State University. Our football team got destroyed this weekend by Boise State, 49 - 7. (Saucony Tangent 3 - 269 miles) Lunch I did 300 situps and 100 pushups. 3 one minute stomach tighting technique. I tripled my situp and pushup toning exercises to prepare for the Pocatello Marathon, and they seemed to help. My own theory was you needed a strong upper core to prepare for 10 miles of downhill running (That's really all Pocatello has is only 10 mile downhill not 13). This really seemed to help in the marathon.

This morning I never got out the door till 7am, because I slept over 8 hours last night. That sure felt good waking up this morning with that amount of sleep. The temperature was close to 50 degrees which felt so good when I started running.
I took the pace again nice and slow, and I didn't do any hills today other than running over the overpass which isn't very long. I was a little sore on this run, and I think it was to do with all the hills and downhill I did yesterday and not being fully recovered yet from the marathon.
I ran 9.4 miles at an overall 7:29 pace in 1:10. Again I'm sticking with only single runs this week. I believe I 'm going to run the STG marathon. I emailed the race director to see if I can get in with the new PR time that I set. When I wasn't selected in the lottery I email them back in May and they were going to let me in by calling them and giving my credit card information. Hopefully, they will still allow me in, if not than I will have to run the Boise "City of the Trees" marathon which I didn't enjoy last time.
Lunch: Did 300 situps. Three bridge planks, and two static ab holds, and 100 pushups. I also heard back from ST. George and they will allow me to enter the marathon. Now I'll I need is a place to stay which all the hotels are full. It would just be me coming up there. Hopefully, I can get some training in from just recovering from last weeks marathon. (Mizuno Prescison 8 - 565 Miles)

I got 6 1/2 hours sleep last night. I stayed later to caught up on laundry, because I didn't have any socks to run in. I hate folding socks they take forever. I always do my share of the laundry equal to my wife. I live there so I need to do it to along with the other chores.
Anyway, I ran another easy run of 9.51 miles at an 7:16 pace in 1:09. The whole route was flat, and I took it nice and easy. I was tired not enough sleep last night. The temperature when I started was 37 degrees. I wore my arm warmers and gloves with my marathon shorts. Tomorrow I'm going to run 15 miles with the Pocatello Running Club. It will be my first time with them and ought to be fun. Lunch: 400 Situps, 120 pushups, and 4 plank bridges. I'm also using the new Chrome Google browser on the site to see the compatiblity. Google still has some work to do with their beta browser. I haven't signed up for ST. George yet unitl I know I can get a place to stay.

| I ran with the Pocatello running club today. We started at 7am and ran 17.5 miles at an overall 7:16 pace in 2:07. We ran from 4th street out passed the Century High School and turned around and ended at the Bagely's shop. Nice run with the temperature starting at 42 degrees I took it nice and steady. Didn't want to push any miles and keep the recovery going. One of the guys is running the St George Marathon and he's trying for under 3 hours and this will be his first marathon. He needs to learn how to fuel and hydrate, because he hasn't been doing it on his long run. I was really trying to help him out and gave him advice. Also told him to join the blog. He's ran a 4:02 mile in high school.
