This was my trial run for the Ogden Marathon.  And I kept it slow, which seemed even harder.  The pace/stride just didn't feel right.  Any how...I averaged around an 8:17 mile.  Did not feel good what so ever towards the end and really struggled.  It could of been dehydration, uncomfortable stride, but most likely it was due to lack of training with long runs.  By mile 16 I totally scappred the idea of doing Ogden.  So I'll chalk up this run as my first long training run for the Des News Marathon.

Good to see you back on the roads and the blog. Too bad about Ogden, but you know your body and training the best. Keep up the training and you will be back in the thick of things soon.

Run strong!

Sorry to hear you won't be doing Ogden, but you will have a good jump on things for DN marathon. I am toying with the idea of doing Des News.

That's always tough to call something off but with this base you should have a great race at Des News Marathon!
