Easy 1.56 mile shake out run to see how my hip and shoulder felt.  They are still sore, but the legs are okay.  Not really sore except where I got knocked down at the starting line.  My hand and knee are a little sore where they got scrapped up.  If my hip/buttocks continues to hurt I will get it checked.  I wonder if I should have just dropped out?  Maybe I made it worse.  I would have nevere expected that to happen at the starting line.

I will not run tomorrow and maybe Tuesday either.  I need a good deserved break.

No Running this morning.  My hip/buttocks and shoulder are hurting with some good pain from the trampling incident in SGM.  Slept 8 hours and feeling disappointed and that's pretty much it.g

 

Evening

120 push-ups and 300 sit-ups.  Running didn't even cross my mind.

Didn't really want to run this morning but I forced myself out the door.  Motivation was low because my trampled on hip and shoulder were still sore and hurting.  But I got out there and ran 5.33 miles  at an overall 7:28 pace in 39.52.  I'm glad I got out there, but I can't get St. George out of my mind!

(Asics Trainers 13 -  438.7 miles)

Evening:

Ran 6.24 miles at an overall 7:09 pace in 44:34 minutes.  This was a great run with no soreness in the hip.  I probably will not run tomorrow because I've got to work late tonight.

I'm thinking about running the California International marathon on December 7, because I can't let SGM be the ending result of this year.  I'm too much of a competitor to let that end the year.

After working till after 1am last night I finally rolled out of bed at 8am.  I really didn't feel like running.  But like my blog title says "I run for fitness".  I did 8:13 miles at an overall 7:32 pace in 1:01.   My body doesn't  feel real sore but the quads I feel a little soreness there.  The important thing is my hip is better.  My knee is black and blue from being trampled on at the start, and my hand is still healing from the cuts.  

Still reflecting on the race (SGM):

Overall even if I did get a 2:40 I won't have been happy with that in SGM, because running 2:36 four weeks earlier on a much harder course I was thinking a 2:30 would be doable in SGM.  Weather, weather what more you can say.

Evening

200 push-ups  and over 300 sit-ups.

I was up a lot last night with our 4 year old son having nightmares.  I wasn't very excited about getting up to run, and not only that the temperature was  32 degrees.    I ran 7.23 miles at an overall 7:41 pace in 55.34 miles.  My quads were a little sore still and my hip from the fall in the marathon was bothering me somewhat today.   I still don't think I need to go have it checked.

I was listening on the radio going to work this morning and they were talking about Provo, Utah. What why you would want to visiit there.  It mad me mad the statements they were making.  They said the best fun or thing you can do in Provo, Utah is leave the city as soon as possible.  Very unprofessional and just plain bad humor.

Lunch:

300 sit-up and 100 push-ups.

Evening:

I ran 4.35 miles at an overall 6:56 pace  in 30:08 minutes.  I ran a little bit faster than I wanted to but I had to hurry to take my daughter to her soccer practice.  I did one mile in 6:32 pace which I'm not proud of because I wanted this to be my recovery week.  When your stretch for  time sometimes you have to make an exception.  I'm always stretched for time after work running somewhere for the kids.

Did 5.3 miles this morning in very cold weather  29 degrees.  Over 8 hours of sleep last night and that really felt good.  This will be my only run.  I need to take this recovery week easier instead of hammering back into the miles.  With a bad storm moving in tomorrow I might not get any running done.  We are expecting snow and a wind advisory tomorrow.

This morning I trained with a friend/cousin "Barry" on the blog that's running the fun Pocatello Half. Marathon on November 1st.  I will be running it also, and try to run a 1:14..  His goal is to run it in 1:30.  This morning I got up at 5am and we drove to the top of the Pocatello Marathon course and ran the back side.  It was around 29 degrees with snow and wind but it wasn't too bad.  We ran 14.04 miles in 1:47 at an overall 7:38 pace ( I exactly ran an extra mile).  Barry is doing a good job and I think 1:30 will be a breeze for him.
