Marathon Day things didn't go as planned. I cramped up the last few miles and was barely able to run through the finish. Couldn't have asked for better conditions.
I still finished 3:22:25 so it was respectable just not where I wanted to be. The calves started to cramp up at mile 19-20, but I was still able to keep the pace. With just under 2 miles to go my quads and groin cramped up really bad, and my quads felt like they were going to give way. My 25th mile was at 8:59 pace, and then my 26th was at 10:41. It was all I could do to run to the finish. I lost my goal in the last 2-3 miles, but it was still a good run.
I'll get there soon enough. Even if I have to wait until I'm 40. No just kidding the goal is still 3:15.

| Ran the first 4 at 7:45, but I had to walk and jog from there due to my ITB flaring up on me. First post marathon run, and I must have injured my ITB which I wasn't aware of until this run. |

| Legs felt a lot better today. My ITB doesn't like anything beyond 4 miles. That's when I started feeling it again (the knife) so I had to slow way down, but at least I was able to run it out this time so it's making progress. My splits were: 8:25, 7:59, 7:58, 7:57, 8:48, and 9:57. |

Legs felt good this morning. Of course I kept the run at 4 miles or less.

The ITB held up pretty good today. I was able to run 6 without slowing down at the end. I'm still feeling it, but it's making great progress. I'll continue to roll it on the foam.
It is chilly in the morning. I can't wait until the time change to get a little light in the morning.

| Didn't run I had to be in Vegas early today. I went on a date with my 2nd daughter though, and we rode our bicycles on the Virgin River trail system this evening. Had to bundle up. We went an easy 9 miles. It was a good time. | | Add Comment |

I ran on the treadmill this morning so my wife could run with her friend. I hate the treadmill. The legs felt good. It was probably good for my ITB. I ran the first mile at 8:19, the next three at 8:00, and finished up at 7:30, and 7:24. |

Dace and I ran on the Virgin River Trail system. We just kept it close to 8:00 pace so I could finish with my ITB. It held up pretty good. I just felt a little twinge, but it's progressing well.
It felt good to sleep in until 6:45. We met up around 7:15.
