Trying out a new brand of shoes. I've been a Brooks guy for years. Trying out a pair of Asics I bought on sale. So far so good, but every tweak, ache or itch makes me wonder if it's the shoes. But, after putting 1187 miles on my last pair, it was time for a change.

This time she forgot to turn ON the Garmin until we were about a half-mile into it. Achiles hurting again. I'm going to take tomorrow off.

Good solid run. With about a mile left, a gnat flew into my mouth and right at the back of my throut. It hit me just right because the next thing I know, I'm gaging and dry-heaving at the side of the road. Good thing my stomach was empty or I would have puked all over the flowers.

Good long run. Got down to marathon goal pace by mile 8 and my last two miles were the fastest. Now I just have to decide if I'm doing another long run before the race. It's 4 weeks out, which seems like a long time. But, my only opportunity would be two weeks from now. Two weeks from race day seems a little soon. What to do, what to do.

Achiles was hurting for about 2 miles. Then it went away. I think it was from stretching it out when I was pulling weeds last night. Those pesky gardening injuries.
| |
|
| | Messed up the alarm this morning. Probably best because I was thinking about resting the achiles today anyway.

Easy run around the block. I felt the achiles for about 2 miles again, not even what I would call pain, then it went away. Just enough to give me a little anxiety. But what would a marathon be without anxiety?

| | Race: |
Top of Utah Marathon (26.2 Miles) 03:23:29, Place overall: 69, Place in age division: 10 | | It was a pretty wild day. Got in to Logan after 8pm. Picked up the packet, checked into the hotel and grabbed some dinner. Rode the bus up, sat in the tent and off we went.
Going down the canyon went right as planned. Held about a 7:18 pace according to my watch, which is a little suspect since I kept losing ground every mile. By the end of the race, my watch was about a half-mile off. I need to do some tests this week on a track to see if the watch is jacked.
But anyway, felt really good going down and for several miles outside of the canyon. My goals were #1 BQ under 5 minutes (3:20), #2 BQ (3:25), #3 Top of Utah PR (3:38).
I started to slow a bit around mile 22 and I also realized that relying on the pace showing on my Garmin watch wasn't going to work, so I started doing the math in my head (if I can hold a 8 min pace, I get this, if I can hold a 9 min pace, this ...). Probably a bad idea because I'm bad at math and it started to make me a little bit crazy in the head.
Just after mile 23 I saw the family and my 14-year-old daughter ran with me for a couple of miles and then peeled off to meet me at the finish line.
I wasn't feeling very good by the time I crossed the finish line, but if you are feeling good you haven't done it right. Pretty happy with my time. Met goal #2 and #3. BQed by 1:30 which might be good enough to get in for 2016 if I decide to do that, plus I've got another year to try again.
I saw my daughter at the finish line and then she left to watch for our neighbor Joe with the rest of the family. I hung out in the corall area. My legs were really aching for about 20 minutes. Joe finished at 4:02 and we took pictures, etc.
Then we went back to the hotel, I cleaned up, we hit the Chick-fil-a drive-through and headed down to Provo for the game. Got there just before halftime. Had great seats, watched the Cougs beat UVA and had a great time.
Awesome day.

Still recovering from the marathon. Legs were feeling good yesterday. It only took about a quarter mile to realize that I'm not recovered yet. Legs were feeling it the whole way. See how tomorrow goes.
