| Coming into the marathon I had pretty high expectations. I think I trained pretty well. The results today did not show any of my hard work. This was my slowest marathon I have ever run. I am sorry if some of the stuff in the report is pretty gross. I wasn't fun to live with. I am blogging it so maybe I can figure out what happen and make sure it doesn't happen again. I got up at 3:45 after a not sleeping very well, this is very normal for the night before a goal race. I had all my clothes lined up ready to go. Use the rest room. I eat 2 eggs and 2 pieces of toast a banana and drink part of a 32 oz power aid. This breakfast I have eaten before almost ever race. I drive to Ogden and get on a bus. While on the bus I continue to drink the power aid. The time I get up to the start I have to use the restroom again. When I get in the rest room my stomach didn't feel very good. When I go poop it was very runny. When I noticed this I think to myself this could be a long day, and I was correct. I come out of port a potty. I eat another banana and a muffin and continue to drink sports drink, while sitting around the fire. I take a GU about 15 minutes before the race. I go off in the bushes about 15 minutes before the race starts. I still have not checked out of my goal of breaking 3 hours. The wind is very light blowing in the correct direction. I wore a fast running blog singlet and shorts, forgot to put sun screen on and have a sun burn to show for it. My race plan run 6:45 miles the first 8 miles. 7:00 the next 6 around the lake, 7:30 up the hill, 6:50 miles tell the canyon. Then 6:30 in the canyon to 23 then try and hold on the last 3.2. The race I start out pretty close to the front. For the first 5 miles I am executing the plan, but my stomach is not happy. At the 5 mile aid station I take a GU and start running again but I know I have to find a porta potty. There was some port a potties not very far from the 5 mile aid station. I use the bathroom. When I come out I know I will not be able to break 3 hours but I am going to try and come as close as I can. My stomach doesn't feel to bad but my legs just won't move. At about mile 10 I have to stop and tie my shoe. It just one of those days. I get to the half with a time of 1:35 almost on the dot. What is wrong with me my legs are not feeling very good. But I think I can negative split the second half and get a 3:10 marathon. The hill doesn't go very well but when I get to the top I think lets go and I start passing runners. Then a mile 16 I have to use a port a potty again, and I wish it was to go pee. I get out of the port a potty again and start running. My legs just will not go, I am not about to use the canyon the way I wanted to. At mile 20 I have to walk just to keep from having a brown trail down my leg. Good thing I am not very far from a port a potty. At this point I have not given up on every goal. I am planning on running the Utah Valley marathon in 3 weeks. So now this is just a long training run. I run down the canyon. On the river trail I walk when I feel like it and run when I feel like it. I have completely checked out of this marathon. When I get to the finish line I talk with Jason a little bit but have to find another port a potty. I stay in the recovery area for a while. I get a massage. Some times a massage feels good, this one did not. They worked on a cramp I had in my left leg for a while. I got my bag and headed back to my car. Walking back to my car I had to find a rest room again. Every thing I have eaten is just going right through me. When I get home I take an ice bath. I am not a big fan of ice baths but I needed to rehab my legs. Splits 6:48, 6:50, 6:43, 6:46, 6:52, 7:11, 8:09, 7:02, 7:21, 7:29, 7:33, 7:36, 7:44, 7:35, 8:03, 7:32, 9:26, 7:16, 7:45, 8:05, 12:46, 9:10, 8:32, 9:45, 11:10, 10:27, 3:37 for the last .43

| 4.3 miles in 60 minutes. I don't know if you can call this a run. I was on the treadmill for an hours with the pace ranging from 3-6 miles an hour. Most of the miles were at 4 miles an hour. I was trying to workout the sore spots in my legs. |

| 10 miles in 1:16:17 a 7:38 mile average. Ran to Mantua and back. If I am going to run well in down hill marathons I need to run down hills. Ran to 11th south then up to Mantua. Going up the hill is hard. Then turned around and ran down the canyon. Came into brigham using the 2nds south exit. All 4.5 miles from mantua was at Marathon pace. The run felt pretty good. My legs was tired and sore after this run. I will need to take it easy the next few days. |

| started a 6:00 am and put the ice guard and tar paper then put 1200 feet of shingles. About 6:00 pm it started to rain. It wasn't raining very hard. I finished installing the singles about 9:00 pm. I just finished before dark. When I finished I was pretty tired and cold. It took about 2 hours to stop shivering. | | Add Comment |
