Run with my Heart

Legs feel pretty good, alittle bit of soreness.  Scrapped the hip and it is feeling better today. 

The plan for the week is to hop back into the mid 60's again if the hip allows.  Do the UVM on saturday as a training run.  Really need to start doing the lifting again, I think that is why I am having my back issues so I will try to do that 2 times this week.

The weather was awful so I went to the OFC and ran on the treadmill then lifted upper, abs/back.  Leg felt pretty good, pace felt really comfortable.

1:10/8:00

Meet and ran with Sasha and Jeff. We keeped the pace pretty easy througout the run. Could feel the race in my legs, but didn't feel to bad.

1:35:42/7:59

wr(402.8)

Feeling alittle worn down, like my body is getting sick again.  But i won't let it!  Ran from will up the canyon and back easy.

1:23:17/8:19

Went and meet Michelle in SF.  We ran really easy, Sasha gave her a speed limit so we tried to stay within those bounds.  Still feeling alittle worn down, but better.

1:18:53/8:36

Debated weither or not to run today and make my milage below 70 or above.  As you can see I can't stay away and decided to go above.  Easy l-loop from my house without a watch.

As for tomorrow I will run how I feel. 

I WON, WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT. I will write more later very tired and can't think.

I got 3 prs today 1-mileage for the week 2-mileage in one day 3-time

I am so happy with today.  I want to start out by say Hyrum the race director did an excellent job.  The start was freezing cold, started in my jacket but sheed it by mile 3 but still had my long sleeve and gloves on.  Once again my Garmin was not working well my total mileage for the marathon was 30 because the first 5 it was picking up wrong.  Man that really bugs.  I turned it off and back on again around mile 5 so I could see my splits.  I started the race with  MacK and Bruce.  MacK (the female in 1st) took off faster than I wanted so I hung with Bruce.  I don't have my first 5 spits but I ran it around 36:09.

6-7:53 this had a good uphill and Bruce told me to not get my heartrate up so I took it easy and let Mack go.

7-7:28 pace so far feel super comfortable

.21-1:41(6:46) 

I have never finish a marathon that strong and feeling that good.  This was awsome, although I felt bad for passing Mack in the final strech.  We hugged and she was glad it was me and not someone else.  I didn't get sick after the marathon either, I usually get really sick after the marathon.  After some time I went back and ran my mom in.  So I won 1000 buckaroonies, and nice trophy (which my son has displayed proudly in his room), a swiss army watch, and a 15$ gift card to the University mall.  Wow what a great training run:)
