Race: Snow Canyon Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:44:32, Place overall: 77, Place in age division: 3

Total Distance

14.00

I ran the Snow Canyon Half Marathon this morning. What a beautiful day! The race started about 25 minutes late...bummer. We stood at the start line for ever. The race went well just a bit harder than I expected for the last 3 miles through Entrada. There was more hills in that area than I expected. The hip acted up for most of the race and keep me thinking about it....I was shooting for a 1:40 but it wasn't there today.

I feel good about my time and it is is my new PR 1:44:32 3rd in age division

splits: 5:46/ 6:18/ 7:44/ 8:56/ 9:30 restroom break..dang/ 7:51/ 8:42/ 7:45/ 8:22/ 8:01/ 8:41 started to get tired/ 8:38/ 8:10 (7:58 pace)

Great job Logan!

Great job Scott! I was shooting for 1:20 and came up 4 minutes short, just about like you shooting for 1:40 and running 1:44. However, I wouldn't stress too much about it. I think the course is a little harder than most people assume it will be. Hope that hip starts feeling better

Scott, Great job for the Half today! I knew you were shooting for a little quicker time but, like Dustin said, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Now you have something to work off of for the Half Marathon. Keep up the good work.

Dustin,Thanks! Good job on your run. The reason we set goals is to push us on and to keep us training for a purpose. I feel good about my run. I can look back now and see how I could have made my goal with a few simple changes. Having to take a pit stop messed me up. The extra time waiting for the start made that happen.

Time for some rest and healing.

Steve, Thanks! No I didn't reach my ultimate goal but I am happy. I did trim off 14 minutes from my other half 2 months ago! The hip really did me in. I am having a hard time moving tonight. I will need some time to heal before I get out and run. It is a good time for that. I hope to be ready for Painters in January and work on a PR.

Way to go Scott

From Superfly on Sun, Nov 09, 2008 at 19:15:56

Good job Scott. A 1:44 with your hip pain is very good. You would have most likely gone way under you goal of 1:40 with out any issues. You just keep getting better. By this time next year you'll have a Boston Qualifier under your belt.

Keep up the good work.
