Decided for an afternoon river parkway run. Went up from Golds again to Rainbow gardens and back. Took it pretty easy heading up: 8:37 ( acouple stop lights), 8:25, 8:24 decided to run it back down 7:41, 7:32, 7:29. Its been good to run this part of the course a few times.

Tick tock.

Early morning Tm run. Wanted to get some good miles in today. Nothing to serious, but a good run. Started off with 8:00, 7:53, 7:47, 7:41, 7:35 last .25 at 7:30 pace. Miles felt good. Getting a little burnt out of the Tm. Need it to warm up!

Good after work run with the Booth man. We drove up to the 29th street trail head and then ran down to the birdsong trail and down the parkway to Golds. Good run - Nothing serious. Time is running out!

Avg 7:59 5.71 miles

Awesome! Crazy to think I just ran my 1st marathon. The legs are definitely fatigued today, but I feel pretty good. Here's the breakdown.

Was awoken at 4:20 am with a major cramp in my left calf muscle it didn't relax for a few minutes, so I was in some serious pain. I was thinking you have got to be kidding. Once it relaxed I went and rolled it out on the foam roller and took a couple advil. Calf still hurt, but wasn't going to stop me from going for it. Jamie and I caught a ride up to the start with Chad, BG, Jeff and Shane. Got to the start about 30 minutes before game time. The sun was already up so, I knew this was going to be a HOT one. Once the gun went off I knew Chad was feeling it. So much for our game plan. He smoked it and turned in the HOT performace of the day. So, I felt great at the go, so I probably went out to fast because by the end of the canyon I was starting to feel it. Into the parkway I knew I was starting to fatigue out. The sun was draining me and I started walking at the last two aid stations for about 30 yards. So with the sun, leg crap with bothered me the entire run, and I measured the course a little long, I was really happy with my result! Here are my splits:

9:15 Hardest mile of the day. Walk break. Should have poured ice water on me.

8:53

last .38 in 8:00 pace.

I came into the finish a little light headed. Booth was there luckily or I probably would have hit the turf. Looking back on the race I should have slowed the first 8 miles down a touch. It was definitely a  great experience and hopefully one I will grow from.

Peace OUT!
