my makeup may be flaking

Ran 5.5 in the morning

Then I did 9.7 in the afternoon.

Segment 1: 17:08 (5:43)

Segment 2: 11:18 (6:06)

Segment 3:  18:06 (6:14)

Segment 4: 11:10 (5:44)

Total time 57:42 (5:57)

I did the 9.7 in flats, I had to take several bathroom stops. I felt understandably fatigued, so I think it makes sense that this run wasn't especially fast.

Traveled to Claremont to the Alumni meet.

I ran 2:24 for the 1000 loop (just like last year). (Which is like a 2:05 800).

Then I ran the 2mile in an even split 9:50. As expected it didn't feel very difficult to me.

I ran in the high desert in Hesperia with my college team. I flew home and ran around Liberty park a bit.

4 in the morning,12 in the evening.

9.5 in the morning

4.8 in the evening

I felt really sick today, but I still ran a little.

I did 6.5 in the morning

Then I did 10 in the evening. I felt better today but still under the weather so I took it easy.

I felt really, really sluggish today. Hence no attempt to go race.

Feeling bad today, decided to take it easy.

I did 14 miles at about 6:30 pace. I was planning on doing more but I just felt too sick. I was doing loops of sugarhouse park also and it was really hard on my butt/hip/hamstring for some reason. Kind of a miserable run really.

My butt felt really bad today. It was really tight and I just got slower and slower so I cut my run short.

4 in the morning.

I did a run in flats today because that is easier on my hamstring. I did the math "10 miler" in 58:49. It should have been much faster but I needed to go to the bathroom the last four or five miles.

Ran down the bikepath to Sandy. I loosened up during the run and felt better than I had in a while. At the end of the run I was probably running like 6:30 pace.

4 in the morning

12 in the evening

I did the math 10 mile loop in flat in 60:41. I pretty much felt awful the whole time.

You know scene in hitch where Will Smith gets an allergic reaction and his lips swell up to a horrifying size? Well that happened to me Friday night and continuing into Saturday morning. It's a sure sign that I'm getting sick again! Which I could have known already because I've been feeling crumby all week. Anyway, I really wanted to do this race to see how my leg would handle some marathon pacework. On that front, things were good as my leg felt fine.

 At the start Fritz pulled away and I ran with Albert Wint and Jamal Tongo for a while. At 5k, Jamal easily dropped me and went on to win. I hung on to third place thanks to a 2 second negative split. Given that I was sick,it seemed quite reasonable to me that I could run this pace for a marathon.

Mile	Cumulative	Split
1	5:30	5:30
2	11:07	5:37
3	16:48	5:41
4	22:35	5:46
5	28:27	5:52
6	34:00	5:32
7	39:39	5:39
8	45:22	5:42
9	51:10	5:47
9.34	52:58	1:48

I was planning on doing a long run today, but I just am not feeling good. I've been sick for three weeks now. This is not fun.
