Saturday - Today
Sat- Went out with the group to do a nice run on Provo Canyon trail. They planned a nice 10 miles up and 10 back with tempo. On the way up I had to keep loosing water so I did a bit of tempo to keep catching back up on the way up.
On the way back down I decided to push the pace once it flatten out and that is what happened except my laces kept going un-done. Finally got that sorted and caught up with the leader doing 20 miles total (6:20 per mile pace) at mile 13-4ish. I stayed with him for less than a mile then naturally pushed it into pace again, felt like low 5min per mile but he said it had to have been in high 4 minutes a mile. Felt good but I couldn't hold it for long with such a great week worth of work outs so i'd say over all I pushed it around 4-5 miles. So I caught up to Bill and immediately he said to catch up to TY and without his words to keep going I would have just stayed with him so I caught up to TY that was about half a mile in front of Bill so I pushed it maybe another mile or so then at that point I stayed with him going about 6:45-50 per mile but he said he needed to be at 6:40 so at this point we were exiting the mouth of the Provo Canyon on the way back to the soccer field and I helped him push to the pace he wanted, then once he had enough miles he wanted to go then I pushed the pace again because I felt rested and ready to go again, once I got going I felt great and I decided to put an all out kick at the end because I felt so fresh. I got to the soccer fields and there was a group of people running around doing speed sessions and that motivated me to push even harder. Even after I stopped and rested a bit and got my supplements in and shake, I went out again to do a little more sprints because I felt so good. Still couldn't charge my Garmin because I lost the cable :(
The next day I was just resting and trying to get as much rest as I could so I was just laying in bed and watching marathon videos of the last year and to learn some new things. I decided to go take a look at my Audi S4 to try to see if I could figure out whats going on with it, on the way out I felt a pain that I remembered I had not to long ago that felt like back pain. I was wondering if I actually did hurt my back but turns out it was again kidney pain..... So today I am feeling a bit better than yesterday, but the pain is still there. I will take another day to see if will be mostly gone tomorrow (Wednesday) and if so go for a long run. Before it took about 4-5 days before it didn't really hurt. I could say I didn't hydrate myself correctly the rest of that day and next so that is probably the main cause of this kidney pain and it seems that it happened the same way as last time. I drove to my sisters in C.O. and didn't hydrate enough after running the Utah Valley marathon. Its a shame I couldn't use this week to really hammer out some good workouts as I was planning but maybe I need the rest. I do know one thing I will be running a great marathon for Huntsville! I can't wait for it to get closer to time to run it :)
Thanks for reading! Have a fantastic day!
