Short-Term Running Goals:

I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that. I have a half and full marathon that I am planning on racing in a few months. I hope to be trained well enough to PR in both, but if not...I will enjoy the ride.

Under 1:30 half

3:15 marathon

Got up at 4:15 and took 1 Imodium and ate oatmeal and 1 full egg and 1 egg white. Took 3 ibuprofen and drank half a Zip Fizz. Met Julie and Angela at Albertsons in Draper and started right at 5:00. Headed up Wasatch Blvd. all the way to the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon and 1 mile up the canyon. As we were heading up the canyon, we had a major headwind. That was about the only place that the wind was an issue. Turned around and headed back the same way. Kept a pretty comfortable pace up until 16 then pushed it a bit harder. I took GUs at 6, 11 and 16. I really felt AWESOME today. I just pray I can feel this good on marathon day. Our overall pace was 8:39. Again, very happy with all the crazy hills.

That is an awesome pace for such a tough route! You guys kicked butt! I can't believe what you ate prior to your run, I could never do that and run - you are tough!

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about all of that food. I would hurl!

Great job!! I am so thinking you are going to come in at 3:30 or less.
