ran the second annual memorial Steve Abraham Lincon Hooper fun run.  This time with out the man who created it.     Ran with the legends  (Dave and Logan.)     Those guys are sooooooooooo   fast.     Logan attacted every hill like it was his enemy.   Dave was smooth as silk.   Logan tried to act like superman and almost went horizontal.   Guess he tripped on  a rock.  I must say this was much more enjoyable this year.  I actually felt pretty good except for the lack of sleep.  I could feel it when i hit the hills.  

I wanted to see if i could push the pace at mile 14 but my left foot started bothering me.  so i had to shut it down and just take it real easy on the way in.

No snakes this time, no bear tracks,  and best of all no stumbling.   The ice cold stream was such a treat after the run.   It felt great.   plud we stoped at Veyo and got a triple berry pie.  Yum,  

B  two bananas,   yogurt,  water

L.  chicken sandwich.

Easy miles around the dog pound.   Decided to take 200 w instead of  300 w. less traffic .  Very easy run.   took it real slow.

I wanted to do my traditional tuesday interval work but when it came time to put on my shoes they were no where to be found.     so i had to go home.  I decided to just run a short tempo run in the dark from home.

Big fat o this morning. I am feeling really tired.  Slept in. need my sleep more then the run at this point.   looking forward to running tonight with the club.

Met up with an awesome group for the club run.

Aaron and i took off like the cops were after us.    Found out Aaron had some digestional problems and he bailed out after 3 pushing the pace 6:10.   I waited for the rest of the guys to catch up.   and contiued on with this awesome group.     after 5 hooked up with Dave, logan, kam, and Ross.    Logan started pushing the pace when we hit the golf course.  And of course like a dog after a car i gave chase.   We stopped and got water after about a mile.    I shut down at that point.  Just ran it slowley on in.  Cought up  Ross and kam  on the trail and pushed it on in.    Thanks guys for waiting.

Overall we had a good run.   And i got some great ideas from the mature guys.

a little side note.  I seen a giant raccoon on the trail.  The thing could of took me home for dinner.  ( Me being the main course)

This was an interesting marathon.    I arrived in salt lake weds day afternoon and picked up my packet.    I  expecting a big marathon Expo.    No expo, just a place down stairs to pick up our packets.     I have always thought the Deseret News marathon was one of the biggest in the state.  To my surprise it is one of the smallest.     I arrived at my sisters and called Robin and we talked for 4 hours.   (thank goodness my sister had a  charger that fit my phone)   I had to get up at 2:00 AM  to catch the busses that started leaving at 3:15 AM.      After arriving  The Temps were a little warm but ok.  No problem for someone from St. George.  Talked to Sasha for a few minutes.  Found a spot on the ground and waited until 5:30 start time.

1. 5.34   Sasha and another couple guys took off like rockets.    Kenyans and me are just relaxing.  

2. 5.36   Last Kenyon starts to pull away.  I let him go.   Feeling great and relaxed. 

3. 5.41   feeling great easy running here.  Running with a guy who wants to finish around 3 hours. Having a great conversation.

4 5.59  course is flating out.  Hill time baby.  Feet are beginning to really hurt.  Speed stars have not been this bad before. 

 

My Battery just died on my Garmin.  Will give the rest of the splits later.   I ended up stopping 4 times to adjust my laces on my shoes.   One porta potty which took about 4 minutes.  

I think I could have been  at least 10 minutes faster if I would not of had the shoes problems. Besides my feet my body felt good.   The Gatorade at the stops seemed to make me sick.  So I drank water and relied on my Gue Packets to get me through.  The ceremonies were terrible.  The food provided was not to good.   I am grateful however to of ran this marathon.  I  gained a lot of confidence going into St. George.    I am going to switch shoes and run a couple of long runs in them before I use them in the St. George Marathon.   I am pretty sore.  My feet hurt.   My legs tired.  But I am excited about my future training getting ready for St. George.
