Psalm 91:1 NKJV He who dwells in the secret place

Little over a mile today with my oldest daughter at an easy 8:45 pace.  Body wasn't too sore just the normal soreness after a marathon.

12.11 miles  today in 1:29 at a overall 7:29 pace.   Last two at 6:43 and 6:54.  Good shake-out run from just the mile yesterday.  Ran at 9pm I wanted the heat for the challenge. Its made me a stronger runner this year because I have ran later in the morning this year than previous years.

Thinking about coming up and running the Top of Utah marathon.  To see all you bloggers that are going that I haven't seen in three years.  Normally I don't like to run a marathon just to run it and not be peaking, but I miss the fellowship.  Not sure if any hotels are left.

Ran with Barry.  He picked a hilly course trying to work me to death after the marathon.  We went up to Buckskin Rd. 4 miles towards the Pocatello Marathon course after starting from his house.   Good recovery run from the race 8.24 miles at an overall 7:44 pace in 1:03:40.  We did one mile in the high 6 minute range.  That's an accomplishment in itself after a marathon.  My quads were still a little sore but not too bad.  Thought about doing the Top Of Utah Marathon but don't know.  Hotels are probably reserved by now.

Ran 10.21 miles at an overall 7:25 pace in 1:15.  I was little sore from the course yesterday...so that being said my legs wanted FLAT! which in Pocatello is are to find a totally flat route.  But I managed to pick a decent route and take my time.  I felt soreness in the quad at mile 9 that had increased over the miles. I decided to see what I could pull out picking up the pace with the soreness.  We generally have to do this at the end of a Marathon so good training practice.  Wait I'm still recovering...  Anyway,  I managed to pick the pace up ant do a 6:48 on the last mile in my heavy cushioned Adidas Tempo 4 shoes.  (why is the tempo word in there :-) ) .  I didn't try to push at a full effort maybe 50% effort.  Not extraordinary but I wasn't looking for a Ryan Hall pace. 

Ran out to Chubbuck today down Poleline Rd. first.  Usually I will end going down Pole Line but I went the reverse way for once.  My quad is a little sore so I think I will cut back tomorrow and do around 8.  I did 10.4 miles and ended the last mile at 6:40 pace.  Headed up towards Chubbuck Rd and then down Hiline Rd. to do the loop home.  I guess I need to be carefully not to push too hard after a marathon. 

Still have some general soreness, as I mention in the left quad mainly.  Not sure it I'm going to be able to make it to Idaho Falls tomorrow to watch my Daughter for Poky High School run in the Tiger Gizzz XC meet. 

I love the Original Saucony Kinvara shoes.  Almost 600 miles. 

Ran up to Hiline Rd. Then down Chubbuck Rd.  I then decided to go out to Yellowstone Rd.  on Chubbuck.  My   quad wasn't too sore today so the foam rolling worked.  10.11 miles at an overall 7:23 pace in 1:14:39.  I took it easier just trying to find a good comfort zone.  Tomorrow celebrate my sons Birthday.  He's turning 8 years old and we are getting a bounce house for it.

Ran the Juz Be CuZ half marathon course with Barry.  My Quad was a little sore on the left leg towards the middle of the run than it seemed to get better towards the end.  Did 14.21 miles at an overall 7:09 pace in 141:39.
We will be doing this course  more.   This half marathon is mine I'm going to nail it and try to do well for the end of the year.

Very tired after my sons birthday party which ended around 5pm.  We rented a bounce house for him and he didn't even know about it.  My daughters took my son for breakfast at Golden Corral (All You Can Eat) while we went and got the bounce house and set it up.

I'm bad I didn't eat any of the Ice Cream cake we got for his birthday.  I stayed on a good diet and have stuck too it for the training and running.  Sweets don't appeal to me. Although I might break that tomorrow because a nice big Apple Fritter is what I've been crawing with ice cream on  it.   Now watching Hunger Games with the family that my daughter bought.
