I ran my final medium long run this morning with Cheris. Our average pace was 8:51. It's time to taper for Ogden. I'm getting excited. This will be my 7th marathon, but I still feel like I have so much to learn. I think the key to improving my marathon times is going to be adding more training miles before St. George.

What a perfect morning for a run.  It is so nice to be able to get out the door without a coat and gloves on.  I ran with my running group.  We ran a 3 mile warm up.  Then I ran 4 fast miles and a 1 mile cool down.  I felt great.

I ran 5.5 slow miles. Then I ran 3.1 miles on the same course as the South Jordan 5k.  My time was 23:40, but I felt like it should have been faster.  Everyone else was saying the same thing.  Maybe it was the humidity?

Cheris and I ran an out 5 and back course.  We ran the first 5 miles, which are mostly uphill, at  a 9 min avg.  The last five miles we ran at about an 8 min avg.  The temperature was cool.  It felt good.

4 miles at marathon pace.  The pace felt good.  We had to hold ourselves back to not go faster.

I drove to Ogden Friday night with 4 other ladies from our running group.   We spent the night at the Ben Lomond hotel.  It was nice to walk out the hotel door and get on the bus.  Cheris and I started out together.  The pace felt great.  We were right where we wanted to be for the first 10 miles.  At mile 10 we took a bathroom break.   This put us about 2 minutes behind.  At 17 miles we started a big downhill section.  Cheris took off.  She is a much better down hill runner than me.  At mile 18 my stomach started to cramp up.  I have always had bathroom issues on runs longer than 13 miles.  Over the next 6 miles, I made 3 more bathroom stops.   Other than my stomach issues, my body felt great until mile 24.  The last 2 miles I was exhausted.  Peggy and Michelle met me at mile 25 and paced me into the finish.  They were a huge help.  I felt better during this marathon than I ever have.  My recovery has been great.  I have had very little soreness.  This race was a 12 minute PR for me.  (Actually 13 minutes from the actual time on my Garmin.)  And 39 minutes faster than I when I ran this marathon in 2006.

My splits according to Milliseconds:

7 miles in 1:00 (8:36)

13.1 in 1:54 (8:54)

23.5 in 3:23 (8:12)

Final 3.1 in 31:53  (10:15)

Cheris and I ran 5 easy recovery miles in 44 minutes.  I don't have any soreness from the marathon.   I'm looking forward to starting our training for the St. George marathon.  We plan on running a lot more miles this time.

One hour cycle class.  My guess is that it would be equal to a 6 mile run.

I ran 8 easy miles.  It rained almost the whole time.  I actually love running in the rain as long as it isn't too windy.  It was so nice to sleep in a little since I didn't have to hurry back to get the kids off to school.  Average pace 9:30.

I ran with the running group.  The first 2.5 miles were the warm up.  Average pace was just over a 9 minute mile.  Then we ran a continuous 6.5 mile run.  My pace for that was 8:27.

I did a one hour strength training class at the gym.  I ran 1.5 miles on the treadmill before, and 1 mile after.

I ran with the running group.   I ran 2.7 miles for the warm up.  Average pace 9:37.  Then we ran a continuous 5.8 miles.  We ran through the Glenmore golf course.  It was beautiful.  I really loved it there.  Average pace 8:58.

Cheris and I ran an easy 5 miles.  We tried to run about a 10 min pace, but ended up with a 9:16 average.  It seems almost as hard to make ourselves go slow as it does fast.

I ran 12 miles with Cheris and Michelle.  We ran three faster miles in the middle.  Our route had a lot of rolling hills.  Average pace 8:45.   I am going to add three more miles to my weekly milage next week and see how I feel.  My legs have not felt heavy, but I have been tired this past week.  I think I just need more sleep.
