I am cutting back on mileage, because i have a race this weekend. My pace was 7:08 with a one percent incline starting at 1.75 out of 5.00 miles. I want to try to simulate running on a road as much as possible. With one hundred sit ups. Also, I am not sure what to cut back to on my mileage. I was told by someone to cut back at least 75%of my mileage per week. Any suggestions?

Today not a good day at all. My run started out good, but ended bad. By mile two I was dizzy and not feeling good. So I stopped for a couple of minutes and went back to running and that did not help very much at all. I just kept feeling worse and more worse. So went back to work and told the owner that I needed to go to the doctor because I was having heart problems. So I went to the doctor and had some blood work and a EKG done. And all I found out is my heart is good. I still do not know why I am getting sick in the middle of my running. I was also told to have a running test to see what my heart is doing while I am running. But that cost 275.00 so I will pray about this and decided if I need to get this done. And I am still plan on running the Salt Lake half marathon on Saturday.Also my pace was 7:19 per mile..

Not too bad day of running; my pace was 06:56.60. I had to stop running at mile 2.50 then I was able to finish and when I was one I felt good.

Wow what a race. When I went into this race I was really nervous. I had been running the treadmill and was not sure how I would run a race on the road. But thanks to God and Kory I was able to run a good race.  I have to thank God for helping me because when I started He gave me some scripture that helped me to know that He was going to help me and when by body started falling apart he help me to finish the race.  And Kory for going with me and also helping to build my confidence and having someone there to talk to and come up with a plan of how to run the race.  Also, the day of the race the weather really sucked and the wind was just horrible, I think the wind was blowing at 20 mph with gust up to 25 mph. My over all place was 200 out of 3819, and for my age I was 22 out of 199. Some of my problems were that I needed to be more hill ready and I was not.  So before my next race in May I plan on running some hill. The next race will be in Ogden Utah May 17 and I am a little excited to run.

Now some fun stuff about the day before and the day of the race. I did get to meet some really good runners like Sasha and Adam, thanks to Kory for introducing me to them.  But one thing about Sasha is he really helped me on my running by giving me a running plan during the winter which really helped be to get to this point of my running, so thank you very much. One funny thing about the start of the race was when they started the race I stood around for about three minutes and when I finally got to the chip starter the song  playing on my mp3 player was  “who let the dogs out.”  And after the race I was waiting to cheer Kory, Adam and Sasha on I was really amazed by watching the winners of the marathon coming in to the home stretch.  Then I had a really good ride home and great conversation with Kory. This was a very very fun weekend for me.
