| 10 miles along the Jordan River Trail with Mike, Chad, and Jeff. After running 5 easy miles, Mike and I did a 2-mile tempo (5:31, 5:20). Felt good. Legs finally waking up (they were thrashed after my run on Saturday for some reason).

| I'm a bit sick of mediocrity lately, but such is life with my racing right now. Please don't misunderstand; I mean absolutely no disrespect to other runners who would be pleased with the time I ran today. I just feel that a few of my recent performances are not indicative of my current fitness, today being no exception. I gave it all I had today, but that's about all I'm pleased with for this race.
I'm not one for excuses. But, here are a few thoughts (mainly for my benefit, if I look at this post in the future). I've had a bit of bad luck lately. Yesterday, starting in the early afternoon, I developed quite the stomach ache. It worsened as the day and night progressed, and I considered not racing because of it. I woke up frequently during the night because of it, and I loaded up on Pepto-Bismol. Although I was worried about how it might affect my race, I decided to race anyway. For the first couple miles, it felt like I might be able to keep it at bay. But, I was wrong. It quickly worsened, and it was a big problem during the rest of the race. Thankfully, I didn't have to make any pit stops, but it became debilitating if I pushed faster than the pace I ran.
In addition, my legs were thrashed after about 5-6 miles. For some reason, my run last Saturday took a lot more out of me than I anticipated. For 2-3 days after that run, my legs felt like they had just run a marathon. Apparently, I just need to man-up and get rid of the wuss factor :)
My hats off to Ben. Talk about a class-act guy. He ran an excellent race! He and I stayed together until mile 5. He looked great. Although I would have preferred to stay with him, it was fun watching him pull away. I thought he would get the course record, but apparently he struggled a bit during the final few miles. Bret ran a great race as well! He passed me at about mile 9, and I was unable to respond.
And how about that Fritz guy! Wow! Is he back, or what? He look so strong and smooth. Great marathons also run by Steve, Bryant, Nye, Justin, Devra, and many others.
And, most of all, congrats to my wife, Elaina, who completed her first marathon today. I ran the last 3-4 miles with her, and she did great!
