I never like to make public my predictions before a race. I awoke at 2:45 a.m. to begin my prep. for ths mornings marathon, the reason I don't like to make predictons is this. You can train your guts out for one of these insane events, and race morn is a crap shoot. One never knows how one will feel, I was not feeling good about the morn as the sleep just did not happen very well the night before. Loaded the bus and up the canyon we went to the drop off point, it sure seemed a lot longer then a 26.2 mile bus ride. No rain which was a good sign, warmer at the start than I was thinking it would be, should be a good run. The first 7 miles things were feeling good, made the hill at the lake to the dam in good shape and tryed to just let things happen. I would much rather run up hill than down any day, exspescially when alot of the dowmhill was on cement rd. I was feeling good at the halfway point, so I did my best to push it a little bit, thought maybe I could finally make one of these things under 4 hours. By the time I hit the mouth of the canyon my calfs were screaming bad as they began to cramp up. Tryed to push more fulids at each fuel point but did'nt seem to help much, I just tryed to hang on the last 6 miles. All in all it was my best marathon finish at 3:59:44, which brings hope that maybe I can BQ at SGM in Oct. Utah Valley Marathon is a good, seemed very popular this year and I think is becoming that I wil look forward to each year.

| My first run back after the marathon, my legs have stopped hurting. But they are still on the whack side it will take a few weeks to start feeling normal again. In the mean time I will keep my base miles up and take each day as it comes. I did an out and back today, just aneasy 4 miler and did good for the most part. We will see what tomorrow brings. |

| Nice long run this morn, I headed out the door at 5 am and it was beautiful. My legs seem to be feeling really good from the marathon of a couple weeks ago. I wanted to see how they would react to a longer run today, I was surprised that they ahve recover ed as fast as they have it was a really nice run. I went out over harry's hill upto the mailboxes on woodland hills dr. then across over to mt. loafer rd to the canal rd and back to gu corner. I did a glf course loop and met Wendy on the river trail to finish the run out with her. It has been a great week of training. |
