To Healthier Days

2009-03-15T23:56:00.000-07:00

This run shows how much faster I run on the road, compared to the trail run I posted. And I was taking it easy, because this was a week before the Catalina Marathon.

This is part of my longest trail run in preparation for the Catalina Marathon. I seem to be missing a few miles, as I recall doing over 15miles. And notice how slow I ran. My feet were really hurting after a while for the last several miles. I feared it was my shoes, so I went back to Movin' Shoes, and got inserts added to my shoes. I was afraid to do anything more.

Here's another time where Ed pushed me to run faster than I expected. He's funny in that he does not think he can run very fast, then he leaves me behind.

The funny part is the speed that I slowed down to when I could not keep up, is the speed I'd need to run a marathon to qualify for the Boston.

As you can see, this is my fastest race yet, by nearly a minute per mile. It was a beautiful day to run, and a very flat fast course, which helped. Amazingly, I did not bring my GPS phone, or keep very good track of my pace. I just ran comfortably fast, and kept it going. Who knew I had this speed in me?

The best part is that it was the same day as a great super bowl party. During the whole party, I was joking about how I would need some ridiculous combination of safeties and missed kicks to get a winning point score. Then, at the end of the game, suddenly Pittsburgh only needed a touchdown to win. And, as you know, they did and I won $100. A new PR and a cash prize. Great day if I say so myself.

This is the run where I started by running with Wayne. He was doing a regular run, for me it was a tempo run. And I could not keep up, as you can see by the declining times.

Marathon Summary

2009-02-07T14:22:00.000-08:00

It's taken me a week, but here's my information about running the marathon. The most important detail: I finished in under 4 hours. My chip time was 3:55.23, which was great. I loved the whole race, except maybe mile 24.

Eric and I started running together as we watched the drag "cheerleaders" with their balloon-filled shirts. Very silly. I stopped at almost every aid station, and ran into trouble at mile 6. I thought Eric stopped for the electrolite drink, so I stopped for water. When I did not see him, I slowed down a bit to look for him. And it turned out he had not stopped, and was hoping I would catch up. Oh well.

I picked up the pace and went on. At the halfway point, my pace was just under 2 hours. So I figured if I could pick it up, I would easily beat 4 hours overall. I don't think I was able to pick up the pace much, though.

All went well, including a couple of small hills. But mile 19 was the first little wall. Things started to feel sore, but did not feel any slower, but it's hard to tell. Unfortunately, my GPS phone lost track for a long time, so I no longer trusted the values. Plus the screen went blank as it got sweaty.

At mile 20, I called Bao as promised to see if he was going to be able to run with me. He was still stuck trying to get to the site. So I called Annie to leave her a message that I had passed mile 20 and I knew I was going to make it. Felt good to say it.

Mile 22 was even better. As I approached it, I heard the beginning chords of "Beautiful Day" from the U2 cover band. I was so psyched up, I was almost more dancing along the route than running. Every one along the side was cheering at me since I was so energetic. Best mile I've ever run.

Then mile 24 hit. Suddenly I was hurting. When I was hurting on the 20 mile training run, the pain eased when I sped up. I was not able to this time. I just had to push through the pain and keep going. The worst mile I ever ran, but I was glad to see I could do it.

When I got closer, I found the pain eased, and my pace picked up again. Mile 26 was in my sights, and I was back up in pace. When I finally passed mile 26, I kicked it in for the last .2. You can see in the pictures that I looked in full motion. But my face looked more painful than I remember.

I left it on the field. After I crossed the finish line, I was fighting nausea I had pushed so hard. And when I bent over to get a water from the bucket, I felt like I might fall. But I was able to walk to the family area, even if just barely. When I sat down, I needed help to get back up when my parents got there.

Footnote: It's almost a year later that I'm posting this. Post-race let down is a real phenomenon, but as you'll see in a bit, I'm still at it.

2008-07-18T13:53:00.000-07:00

The Rock 'N' Roll Marathon! I'll follow this up with an entry more about my experiences doing the run. As you can see, the GPS lost signal, so it lost a little distance. And you can see that I kicked it in at the end, running under an 8'30" mile pace!

Time to catch up on missed posts. This run was probably my favorite.

When we were getting ready to run, somehow I ended up standing around farthest from the start. Which meant when we started running, I was out in front. Suddenly, I decided to keep it that way. I was up and running with Wayne, and Ashley, and the other fastest runners. Ashley started jumping onto stairs, and the next thing I knew, Wayne and I were jumping the little "No Parking" signs like hurdles. Probably not smart, but definitely fun.

When I got to the end, I taunted Wayne a little, and he sprinted in front of me, but I stuck with it, and finished first back at the signin sheet. First, and only time, I won a training run. I was not supposed to run that hard, but I loved it!

Here's a second try at Torrey Pines. BiM reset and missed the first part of the climb, but overall, it looks like an improved time. And Eric had us running at a tempo run pace for the flat part of the run.

19 miles! I was only expecting to run 16, but my running buddies on Saturday were both more experienced, so they were scheduled for 19. The best part is that I finished noticeably stronger than I started. I love out running 20 somethings at the end of a long run.

Here's my first run ever up Torrey Pines. If you go back to the beginning of this blog, you can see me talking about how it was hard to cycle up this path at first. Now I can run it at a pace that is compatible with being an easy run. I hope this helps with the La Jolla Half next week!

Ugh. I think I might have been fighting a mild cold or something, because I felt achy the whole time, and ran fairly slowly. On the other hand, I was still running up the last hills, which many other people did not.

Owwie! I feel and scrapped my knee. I got a lot of attention for it, but it's really just annoying with pants. And I think I was fighting off a little something, because I ran out of energy fairly wuickly, and ran slowly.

In publishing out of order here, but this is my first Tempo run. Looking at it now, I'm not sure I warmed up properly, or cooled down. And of course, after the Carlsbad 5K, I think I could have done it much faster. McMillan's calculator applied to my 5K time says I should be able to run the whole marathon at a pace not much slower than this.

Here's the BiM log of my run at the Carlsbad 5K. It's actually wrong, because I started it before I crossed the starting line. Also, I dropped my phone, so I actually got it a few seconds after I was finished.

My real time was 22:18, which is a 7:11 min/mile pace. Which just blows me away, since it happened the day after my 16 mile run. And I was out with Dad watching Doomsday until 1 in the morning. I wonder how fast I can run in better conditions?

BTW, this means the McMillan calculator thinks I can run a marathon at an 8:18 min/mile pace, for a 3:37. Yikes!

Here is my longest run ever, actually more than a half marathon. While it was tiring, I felt like I ended up well. The funniest part was when a bunch of cyclists came by, and Laurie yelled at me to pick up the pace.

The best part for me was that I finished the run, and still had energy to go walking around a music festival that night.

WOW! this run is a turning point for me. 2nd longest, and run at the fastest pace. And I even ran faster as the run goes on. I can't say for sure I could keep this pace for a whole marathon, but I could have run it a lot farther than 4 miles I think.

Of course, I have to run a 7min 38sec/mile pace to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Am I that crazy? We'll have to see how the runs continue.

I was hoping to do my first solo run in Carlsbad, but the traffic was so bad, I gave up, got off the freeway, and ran in Solana Beach. Unfortunately, I had to run back and forth to find a lit path I could run at night. And my pace got slower, even though I felt like I was pushing myself.
