| Location: Provo,Ut, Member Since: Apr 01, 2008 Gender: Male Goal Type: Local Elite Running Accomplishments: High school (in San Diego) I ran a 16:40 5k and a 4:33 mile. Have run 11 marathons.
PR - Ogden 2009 - 2:55:10
Haven't done a 5k or 10k or half in a long time. I just enjoy doing my regular daily runs and then hittin' the Marathons. I might slip in some shorter/faster races this year. Short-Term Running Goals: Drop some more weight (get down to 150), keep Pr'ing, and try to stay injury free. Get a 2:46:42 or better in a marathon - I wanna beat Lance's PR!!
Get out on more trails around the valley and enjoy the scenery. Long-Term Running Goals: Focus on marathons and possibly ultras? Keep healthy and lean. Personal: Married with 2.95 girls. |

Happy with the Race. I haven't had much experience with how inconsistent training the last 1-1.5 months would affect my performance, so I was just hoping to be in the 2:50-3:00 range.
Didn't really look at the garmin much the first 4ish miles because I locked the bezel to avoid any problems with the moisture making it go haywire. Unfortunately, when you lock the bezel, you can't turn the light on. Just ran and enjoyed the time with my trashbag on (didn't want my clothes to get water-logged just yet). Finally tore it off at mile five and enjoyed how quiet everything was! The race was a blur to me other than I felt great before "the hill", and like crap during/after. I remebered at mile 13 that I thought I would be in trouble the rest of the race and that I could just feel that I was going to hit the wall hard. I had stomach issues for the first time in any run. My GU was just sitting there, and any attempt to take water to try to wash it out just made it hurt more. I did spend about a mile thinking about my race report and how I was going to start my eulogy of the race. The downhill miles gave me a jump start, however, and I was able to get back on track. Went through 13.1 at about 1:31:30 I believe. Met quite a few bloggers throughout the race and was happy to finally see them instead of their tiny pic on the blog. Caught up to RivertonPaul and Andy and Joe? I believe. Ran with them for a while until I fell back on another hill. I was constantly a minute behind them until about 20 or 21 when I caught back up and started my dash down the hills. Felt good, but worried that I wasn't leaving anything left for the bottom, flatter 2 miles. Slowed a bit during these miles, but realized I was still going to be under 3:00, and most likely get under my current PR (2:59:25 at Deseret News this year), which I would be happy with given these conditions. Andy passed me with about 1-1.5 left and I encouraged him on. I really wanted to hang, but my body was almost numb at this point, and I was losing it. Hung on for a 2:58:35.
I'm happy with the year: 3:36 at SLC, 3:20 at Ogden, 2:59 at D.N. and 2:58 at St George. Now if I can just keep up the trend to get a sub 2:45 by Boston next year!!

5 Miles on Treadmill. 2% incline. 8:34/mile. Felt better running than I do walking. I'm not too sore walking either. Best condition I've been in post-marathon yet! Excited to be more focused/consistent this winter.

15.20 Miles. 8:03/mile. Ran 7.20 to and from the BYU Smith Fieldhouse. Ran 8 inside around the track. Left knee went from being a gentle nuisance to actual pain at some points during the run. I don't think logging this many miles the week after the marathon helped at all.

8 Miles on the treadmill at 2% incline. I'm going to run on the treadmill this week on a softer surface to help out my knee and so that I can stop if it starts acting up. Felt pretty good during the run. Kept getting the feeling that I was going to start 'getting the feeling', but I never did. Kept it an easy 8 min pace.

.25 Miles POINT 25 miles! Could tell I was only going to hurt my knee more than I would help my cardiovascular system. Decided to pack it in and try again tomorrow.

10 Miles. 7:29/Mile on treadmill at 2% incline. Felt pretty good.
Also biked 20 miles earlier in day with the wife while pulling the girls up to Provo Canyon and back for a picnic. Had to make good use of the weather while it lasts!

6 Miles on trail. 6:52/mile. Pretty much a long fartlek with pace varying the whole time. Knee felt stiff/slight pain first couple miles then loosened up and was hardly noticeable. Everything else felt really good today. Was planning on taking is slow and easy, but just wanted to cruise the whole time.

10 Miles on trail. 6:56/mile. Felt really fresh and needing to go a little faster today. Ran with lindsay while she pulled the girls on the bike. Kept going after dropping them off at the park at 2.5 miles. Ran 6:30 or faster for the next 4 miles. Finished off with a 5:56 mile beating lindsay home. Felt the knee, but nothing too painful.

10 Miles. 4.70 on the trail and met the girls at the park. 6:59/mile pace. 5.30 on treadmill later. 2% incline. 7:07/mile pace. Knee felt okay on trail, hurt running on a downhill. Felt it pretty good on treadmill, but not as bad as other days.
