I thought I'd try to "train" for some downhill so I ran a very quick 4 starting up at the Noni mansion.....not a good idea just 2 days before the Provo River half.....calves/shins....burning! Came in at 30:36 (7:37 pace) felt fast downhill, but we'll see what happens. | | Add Comment |

Provo River Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:43:24, Place overall: 258, Place in age division: 26 | |
I don't really remember much about the race other than some miles felt better than others. I started at 7:00 pace or even a bit below. Mile 2 hurt (must have been the downhill I tried on Thurs.) Didn't want to stop so I ran through the pain and waited for the Ibuprofen to kick in. Finally at about mile 4 or 5 the pain started to lessen. Slow up the hill in the canyon, but then after a "goo" and water at the aid station I felt great. The entire race, I never once felt pain in my lungs so I think I can go faster if I just can get my legs under me. I started to pick people off down the trail as I kept 7:30 pace for quite a few miles. I saw Amanda at about mile 10 or so and caught a bit of a second wind. I absolutely HATED the weaving through the businesses in the Riverwoods. Didn't know when to kick so I could've finished even better and faster and according to my GPS, it was 13.24 so maybe 30 seconds faster?? Super sore on Sat. afternoon with a couple of blisters here and there. Stiff shins and calves and overall creaking joints and muscles. Felt good about my accomplishment after 10 years of inactivity! | | Comments(13) |
