10 miles @ MP, treadmill.  Actually felt terrible for the first 4 miles or so.  It wasn't that the pace was too hot, but I got some weird sort of motion sickness from watching TV or something.  Fortunately, it went away and the last 6 miles just felt super relaxed and easy.  I could tell that I was moving fast, but it just felt effortless today.  I guess 2 short easy days in a row really makes a difference.  Did the first 9.7 at 6:18 pace and then couldn't resist the temptation of kicking the last .3 at 5:00 pace.  I finally signed up for Provo City half yesterday, so this was really encouraging given a race coming up.  With two more easy days, I should be ready to nab a nice new PR on Saturday.

11 miles, 79 minutes, easy.  Aves to Liberty, most of a loop, then out the other side, down a ways into south salt lake, back, back around liberty, and back home (slightly more complicated to end at an even mileage, but no-one really cares, myself included. hah...)

Provo City Half Marathon in 1:15:33.  Massive PR (previous PR was 1:22:06 from SLC half in 2010), felt extremely smooth and just all around fantastic today, with energy left in the tank at the end.

 

Got up at 4:00, had two bananas, a capri sun, and some powerade.  After letting Holly out and using the bathroom twice myself, I drove down to Provo around 4:30, getting there at 5:20, with just enough time to get my packet and get on a bus.  We got up to the start line an hour early, despite being one of the last couple buses, so I got to hang out in the cold for what felt like forever.  I used the bathroom two more times (that Cafe Rio from last night apparently didn't mix well with my lactose intolerance), warmed up by lightly jogging about 2 miles (estimate, no Garmin), and then finally got started.

My Garmin won't connect to my computer anymore for some stupid reason, so I don't have every single mile split, but I remember quite a few of them.

 

1: 5:46 - Really comfortable, the most downhill mile.

2: 5:47 - Once again, really comfortable, also quite downhill.

3: 5:49-ish - No longer quite so downhill, but still really comfortable.

4: 5:42 - Not as downhill as the first 2 miles, but I guess I had started to pick it up. 

4 - 6.2 - Still comfortable.  Had planned on just ensuring that everything was below 6, but everything stayed in the 5:40s rather comfortably.

6.21 Split - 35:48.  My PR is 35:07 from Des News '09, so this made me nervous.  Still, felt totally fine.

7 & 8 - Still in the 5:40s, surprisingly still not really hurting at all.

8 Split - 46:12, as I recall.

9 & 10, still in the 5:40s, starting to realize that I could hang onto this pace the entire time, which was really exciting.

10 Split - 57:48.  4-ish minute PR en route?  Even if I haven't run a 10 miler since 2008, wow.  Super stoked.

11: 5:52.  This mile had tons of roll and a really long climb, so I was OK with this being my slowest mile by 3 seconds.  Calves were just starting to feel slightly sore, but everything was very rhythmic and smooth.  Still felt totally relaxed.

12: 5:39.  Lots of juice left, time to hammer.  Basically almost net flat, but cranked out my fastest mile.

13: 5:40. Pushing it in.  Really excited about the prospect of sub-76.

Last .13 (Garmin had 13.13): 34 seconds, massive kick.  4:22 pace.  So much energy left.  Ridiculous.  Could've hammered out another 5 miles at sub-5:50 if I had to.

 

Finished feeling absolutely elated to have run a massive PR and faster than expected (anything under 1:18 would've been a good sign for Utah Valley Marathon in 5 weeks IMO, and my goal was sub 1:17).  Not only was it faster than expected, but it was a lot easier than expected.  If I had known that I was capable of this fast and willing to push it from the gun (ie, been willing to wreck myself), I could've probably taken a minute off, but for now, I'm very happy to be a 1:15 half marathoner.

 

Cooldown - 3-ish miles, some with James, and then some more by myself.  Didn't wear Garmin, so estimate.  I'm calling the total of 5-ish between the up and down 4.9 miles so my week won't end on a fraction of a mile (I hate this. hah.)

With Holly.  Actually felt pretty darn good today, despite yesterday's race being in my legs.  I was a little stiff for the first mile or so, but after that, I honestly didn't feel any different than normal.  I promised myself that I would keep the run as short as necessary to ensure that I was getting a good recovery, but before I knew it, I was up at the city creek watershed boundary with Holly.  Having been 4.6 miles out at the turnaround, and still feeling good at a bit short of 9 miles before making my final turn onto 4th ave, I decided to do a tiny bit extra near the end of the run to get the run up to 10 (I seriously hate ending on an incomplete mile), so I did a slight loop through the top of downtown. :)  Run was extremely easy, so I literally took 1:27 to run 10 miles.  Granted, it was mostly on trail (7 of it, with 6 on singletrack) and had 1000'+ gain, but still, it was really casual.  I've come to realize recently that doing a run this easy is just exactly what the body needs sometimes.  My legs feel pretty much flushed out from anything lingering from yesterday, and, while I'll wait until probably Thursday to run another workout, I just feel hungry and ready for more high-quality, intelligent, and fun training.

Easy effort 14, my places in the aves to 5th East to 45th South and back.  1:42.  Legs were relatively tired over the last couple miles, but overall good for having raced 2 days ago.  I'm not planning on going past 75-ish this week, so after already popping out 24 in the first 2 days and with a longer workout planned for later in the week, I'll probably take 2 shorter days between tomorrow and Friday.

1 mile to Kevin's house and then 9 miles more with Kevin.  From his place up N, up to 11th, to City Creek, up the trail to the Shoreline turnoff, along BOSHO to the radio towers access road (right below the towers), down that, through the gated neighborhood, down to the capital, down State, and back home.  10.03 miles (on GPS, which I trust over mapmyrun, which says 10.23) in 80 flat with a lot of single track (not always very smooth), which was equivalent to more like 7:00-flat effort on average for a more generic flat road run.

Pre-run: Well, this is not what I wanted to have happen with 2 1/2 weeks left to train hard for Utah Valley, but my hip just got slightly flared up in the past few days and now my lower back (back right side, above the hip) is pretty tight.  I haven't had any pain whatsoever in my back or hip, but the tightness is obviously problematic.  I'm going to go in for a deep tissue massage today and, if that doesn't work, I'll see a chiropractor on Monday.  This is a very bad time to back off the mileage and I think I'll still be OK to run on it, but I don't know that it would be wise to do the workout I had planned for this evening.  We'll see after the massage I guess... 

 

3:00 update...  It's loosened up somewhat already, which is nice.  Let's hope the massage will take care of it the rest of the way!

 

 

Run: Got a massage and actually felt about 75% better.  Decided that most of my running should be on trails for the next few days to avoid pounding, so I went up to Mill Creek Canyon with Holly.  A bit of a warmup, then ran up Church Fork Road.  Started my watch again at the big yellow trail gate and ran Grandeur in 38:44.  Effort felt pretty casual and my hip didn't really bug me at all.  The one thing that made it non-casual was the fact that the weather started to get pretty bad about halfway up.  I really wanted to see what type of time I would run on an average day right now, otherwise, I'd have turned around with a mile to go when it started all out hailing (keep in mind I was wearing 1" inseam shorts and a very light singlet).  I was focused on getting to the top (with the mindset of "it's all easy and downhill from the top", not really thinking about the fact that crazy winds and hail hurt whether you're going up or down).  Got to the top in 38:44 without really pushing it effort wise (honestly a hair easier than a typical tempo effort), didn't even pause for a second, as the last few minutes up were extremely painful weather-wise, turned around, and started running down.  Of course, the trail was very slick at this point, so I couldn't run down fast without risking slipping and injuring myself.  The thought of dying in the spectacularly terrible storm up there crossed my mind a few times (say, if Holly suddenly refused to run and I couldn't make her continue, if I tripped and broke a leg, etc, basically if anything happened that prevented me from running and therefore not freezing as much, I was pretty sure that the consequences would be pretty bad).  I was in pretty rough shape by the time I got to the more sheltered part of the trail, about a mile from the top, but the weather let up with about a mile to go, at which point I started to notice my hip a little (steep downhills seem more aggravating than anything, and grandeur is, on average, at a grade of mid to upper teens, percent-wise), so I just jogged it in.  Now that I'm done, everything feels pretty good, but still a little bit off.  Still, it's much much better than earlier today.  As for climbing stats, the FKT for my route is 33:40.  I think I could do a sub-36 pushing it race-effort right now, but I almost certainly could not get sub-35 at this point and I'm really developing some respect for that time.  Still, I'm going to put in a few high efforts up this mountain this summer and try to see if I can get my legs into at least sub-35 shape before the summer is over.  Oh, and I'm relatively certain that Holly is the fastest dog ever up the mountain (none of the other guys running sub-40 do it with dogs), and she was off leash the whole way, so she didn't get an unfair advantage of being dragged up. :)

 

Going forward, I am going to be exceedingly cautious with my hip, but I'm optimistic that it's already getting better and won't prevent me from getting in a little over 2 more weeks of good training.  I'll probably do a flatter trail run in Mill Creek tomorrow (Pipeline?), and just take it from there.

Well, my season is probably over.  Hip essentially died on today's run.  Ran a lot of uphill (most of the way up city creek from my apartment) and it felt irritated but consistent.  Within a mile of downhill, it was done, except that I was 5.5 miles from home.  Definitely walked a fair amount on the way back and the running was borderline excruciating.  Yes, it was a poor choice to go out and try 13 miles today, but in reality, it didn't matter.  My season was trashed before I laced up my shoes today.  The damage had already been done and today just confirmed the problem.  Utah Valley is almost definitely out of the picture, even if I feel healthy, just for the main reason that I need to rehab this properly and get it behind me before I risk additional damage.

 

As a scientist, I'm not the type of person that attributes any explanations of dreams or subconscious feeling to the supernatural - in fact, I find such reasoning to be illogical and irresponsible.  However, I do think that dreams are a good reflection of the needs and status of the human body, even in allegorical form.  The human brain has an extremely good capacity to understand its body's state on a subconscious level, with this understanding sometimes showing up in dreams.  Ever since last summer, I've had a bit of uneasiness about this hip thing and have kind of just always sensed that it probably wasn't 100% better, even when it wouldn't bug me for months at a time under a heavy training load.  The thought crossed my mind a few times that I might be building my fitness on a poor foundation, which could crumble at any point.  Just a few nights ago, right after sensing just a light bit of tightness in my right hip, glute, and back, I had a dream about selling a house.  I had built the house myself in my dream, but just when I was about to start displaying it for sale, I realized that I had built it on a poor foundation and it was starting to crumble.  At the end of the day, all my hard work went to waste when I had to tear it down and build it again.  I woke up and realized that this directly paralleled my current running state.  I've put a lot of smart training and careful building into my fitness and wouldn't change anything I've done over the last 2 months, but I built everything on a weak foundation.  That has come back to haunt me and now I have no choice but to fix the foundation and re-build from there, even though I was just about to be ready to display my fitness at the Utah Valley Marathon.  It is quite remarkable that the human body has reached the point in which our brains have this sort of intuition.   I have come to trust mine in most non-running scenarios, and the time has come for me to apply that same logic to my running.  I might not want to listen to it, but I know that it is correct.  Intuition kept all of my ancestors alive for long enough to keep our lineage going over countless milennia, and it's about time that I start trusting my intuition and doing the right thing for my body, even if it means sacrificing what could be a huge PR and having to completely rebuild.  In reality, I don't even really have a choice, as continuing to train hard at this point would likely leave me severely injured and unable to race well at any point in the near to relatively distant future.

 

The unfortunate reality with running is that we, as runners, have the tendency to try to push ourselves through injuries and many of us can greatly decrease our long term potential by causing serious and lasting damage, going against our intuition with the desire of rapid and potentially unrealistic improvement.  I aim to not let this happen to me in this situation.  I'm going to be smart, listen to my body, and rehab this properly.  I'll probably still try to get my sports med doctor to give me a shot of cortisone (he's not a fan of this) to keep the inflammation and pain at bay while rehabbing it, but I'm not going to enter a state of heavy training again until I'm confident that I will not be likely to have another flare-up of this injury.

 

The desire to train intelligently and reach the next level has never been higher for me than it currently is.  While it is frustrating to have this desire and be unable to act on it, I will let this continue to build until I am ready to train hard again, at which point I will focus all of my intensity and energy into finally running the sort of marathon that I feel capable of running.

Hip is the same today that it was last night, ie quite unhappy.

 

Going to start paying attention to my weight (156.8 this morning) to ensure that I don't allow it to increase during the off season.  In fact, if I could get it down to more like an even 150, that would probably be ideal.

I wouldn't call this "racing", except that I won (note, running at about marathon pace for a 5k), so I'm kind of obligated to do so.  My hip/glute area is still completely messed up, so I wouldn't have run at all today, but they were giving away an entry to St George, and I got screwed over by their lottery yet again, so I had to show up.  This race was giving it to the entrant who had the most inspirational story about wanting to run St George.  I figured that my story about having such a serious long term illness that I was 40 pounds overweight and unable to run more than 3 miles at a time 2 years ago, and then getting back into shape to run PRs at every distance from half marathon to 100 miles in the last year would be good enough, but apparently it wasn't.  I realized from the super cheesy name, that the organizers probably wouldn't be focused on putting together a well-thought out event, but this was honestly one of the most poorly organized races I've ever seen.  For example, they had 800+ people running and only 3 or 4 portal potties, not to mention the absolute disaster that was the parking situation (it took me 20 minutes to drive the last quarter of a mile and park).  Additionally, while the course was visually nice (in Thanksgiving Point Gardens), they made us run through a super slick tenth of a mile mud field in a huge downpour after mile 1, and then the last 2 miles featured endless 90-180 degree tight turns, all on bricks.  In any case, my hip actually felt pretty awful, but I realized that anything not involving walking the race would win, so I took it out at a light pace and just covered what others were doing.  I jogged with a couple guys for the first mile, after which one guy fell off.  I had a nice conversation with the guy who got 2nd for most of the 2nd mile, and then he fell off, so I jogged it in to finish in 19:10.  They had approximately 1000 entries to work with (I registered a little later, but paid $30 to run), but gave me a 10 cent medal that didn't say anything about time, place, or the race name for winning, so that was lame.  I won the race by about 30 seconds, but didn't get the St George spot (apparently wanting to run this race for FIVE YEARS and trying to make it the capstone of my comeback year, after dropping 40 pounds and getting into the best shape of my life isn't an inspiring enough story, not to mention that winning the race giving away the spot apparently counts for nothing), so I'm disappointed that I wasted the time and money to go run this morning.  Oh well... 

 

6 PM update: my right glute is so frozen up that I can barely walk.  I'm finding myself extremely irritated that I wasted my time on this race today.

Weight is actually dropping, although I think it's mostly just my metabolism slowing down due to almost no physical activity over the past week and a half.  Still, at least I'm not putting anything on during my down time.  Ideally, I would think that I shouldn't be racing higher than 150, but I always just let myself eat whatever junk I want in heavy training, so it usually stays pretty stable instead of dropping to where it should.

 

Regarding the hip/glute, it hasn't really been making progress, so I'm seeing the sports MD again today to get an xray.  If that doesn't show anything, I'll be back in MN in a few weeks, where my parents' insurance covers all sorts of things that would cost a literal fortune out here on student insurance (good thing I'm not 26 until August, so I have a few more months of coverage!).  Just an MRI, which is pretty basic and would be super helpful with diagnosis, would cost me $500 out here, but is completely free in MN, so I'm obviously willing to wait a couple weeks if I don't get all the answers today.

Well, no fracture!  There appeared to be a crack on the xray, but the doctor said the pain wasn't extreme enough for it to be a stress fracture, so he and the radiologist decided it was probably just an artifact from a blood vessel.  Thoughts are that it is either a tendonopathy or a low-grade muscle tear, with only a slight possibility of fracture or the last alternative, the rather scary torn labrum / related bone on bone grinding in the joint problem (my younger brother just had surgery for this and it sounds awful).  With all of this in mind, tendonopathy is probably most likely since that's what it was in a similar region last year, but the argument against that would be that cortisone was super helpful last year, but not all that helpful this year.  Who knows.

Getting an MRI should diagnose things pretty well, but getting it done in Utah would cost about $500 given how bad student insurance is.  With that in mind, I'm going to get one when I'm home in MN in a couple weeks.

In any event, for now, I think that rest is gradually making things better finally.  As of a few days ago, I wouldn't have agreed with that statement ("racing" on Saturday probably caused a flareup), but in the last 72 hours, things have gotten quite a bit better.  In fact, I didn't even think about my hip/glute while walking around at work today, which is encouraging.  On top of that, I got out for a 90 minute walk with Holly tonight and the pain never got past mild.  When I was going downhill at the end, I could tell that I wasn't all that far from a worsening of the pain, but fortunately, it didn't happen.

I'm going to go see a supposedly amazing massage therapist whenever he can fit me in, so it will be interesting to see what someone really good can do for this.  For both muscle tear and tendon stuff, it should be at least somewhat helpful.

Went skiing at Snowbird. 

 

 

 

Interestingly, like previously, skiing seemed to strengthen my hip and it felt really good afterwards.  I decided to just see how my hip felt on a short run, so I took Holly up to Mill Creek.  I ran 2 miles up Bowman Fork, up to the first nice view point, and knowing that downhill has been worse, opted to walk down to avoid any pain or problems.  My hip felt mildly painful, but not bad and didn't flare up afterwards, other than the inside of the quad, which was a bit sore afterwards just due to the obvious muscular imbalance.

More fun skiing at Snowbird, sporting my Murica shorts today. Hah.  Waiting on getting some sick shots of that...

 

No running today, but I'm optimistic that I'll be able to get back into training within a couple weeks as things are getting better.  In fact, I wasn't even sore today after my huge 2 miles yesterday!  Yes, the excitement is a little bit sarcastic, but it's still a good thing.
