I meet up with an old running friend I had not seen in a while. We ran the whole marathon together and it was a great day!!!!

I think if I had not had some tummy trouble at around mile 20-22 (Had to stop for a potty break) I might have been able to get under 4. But all in all I can't complain. Had a great day.

Congratulations to all you speed freaks here on the blog. You are so inspiring!!

This is a very solid run. Even if this was all out, this still shows your potential for a Boston Qualifier this fall in Top of Utah (assuming you did not get into St. George).

How much effort did you put into it, and what was your split at the half? I assume if you and your friend stayed together the whole race, one of you was not racing all out.

Also, it would be good to see where your 5K speed is at. If your effort was not all out and you feel recovered, you can try Magna 5 K this Saturday. Otherwise, try Heart of Holladay in June.

Sasha,

First thanks for the commenting on my blog, it is great to have someone of yoru calaber to talk with and give me advise.

This was not an all out effort for myself or my friend. I can't remember my splits at the half. I think it was 1:56 but not sure. My friend is an ultra marathoner, this was a training run for Squaw Peak (I think in three weeks) I felt good enough at the end to sprint the last (Felt like a sprint, but probably still pretty slow) I know that all your advise and all the miles really made a big difference in how I felt at this marathon. I check my time from St. George 07 and I was seven minutes faster!!! I couldn't believe it. I didn't get into St. George, but I'm thinking about Top of Utah!

Speed at a 5K... that would be interesting, I have never been very good at it.

I feel good but won't be able to run tonight (have to give a shower for my new daughter-in-law) but I will be back at it Tuesday.

If you could find 20 minutes before bed and go for a short jog, that would be helpful.

Good job on a hot and tough day. It is fun to run with a friend.
