Wow had an AWESOME run today! We started out by sleeping in and not meeting til 6am this did my body good, I woke up bright eyed about 5:15 and felt good and not the groggy oh my body hurts feeling like I do when I have to get up in the 4's.
Mikes wife drove us up from the finish line a little over 14 miles. (tom and kim lee came today, it was fun to see and chat with you two on the way up!) Warmed up the first 2 miles and then I wanted to hit under marathon pace knowing that when I get to this point in the marathon my body would already be feeling tired. What a run!I I felt amazing, I wish today would have been the marathon. The only thing that bothered me is I have worn custom orthotics for the past 6 ys and I just got a new pair for after the marathon but decided to try them today, they felt great except I rubbed a blister on the bottam on my foot just because they obvioulsey are not broken in. It helped my legs and hips though feel better. I dont think I will wear them for the marathon though, we will see if i cant bulid a calus there in 2 weeks. Here are my splits
1. Warmup with marissa 7:48
2. Warmup 7:04
6:42 for .51 mi grabbed my gu and water , 5:50, 6:15, 6:05, 6:34, 6:28, 6:14, 6:17, 6:55 (bathroom break here), 6:24, 6;26, 6:28, 6:47 (dustin and bill here and they had slowed down so I kinda slowed a little too), 6:54 (for last .37 mi)
AVG PACE 6:32 I felt so good and I had energy at the end, my legs or any part of my body did not get the sore heavy tired feeling. I felt like I could have kept going at that pace. I hope I feel like that in 2 weeks! I needed this run today to get the runners high and excitement back!
