Papillion [20170115]: Recovery Sunday

Just an absolutely perfect morning for a recovery run around town; including continuing W on Lincoln, crossing 96th and running that big ole hill to the top... thing felt about 3/4 mile long.

Got home, cleaned up, checked on Dan's results (awesome!), checked in on some AZ peeps (good work!), then met a crew of folkZ, at Alamo Drafthouse, to watch Patriots Day.

Not gonna lie, that was a tear jerker. And I've never been there.
Can't imagine what was going through the head of Mollak, Haug, Gary or Lindsey (there, that day). Talking afterwards, it's amazing (and stunning) hear her account of that day, and then the day after.

Great mix of (what appeared to be) real footage, and film. Felt raw, visceral, and overwhelming at times... Marky Mark did a pretty danged good job, imo. Way too much talk of "country" music though, somehow that toes in the sand person got mentioned like 3 dozen times. Puke.

LOVED that they included the (full) Ortiz clip.

Papillion [20170115]: A Mile with The Boy

Before my Sunday recovery run, I had my son get dolled up and run a mile with me. He didn't seem into it, until we got going, then he enjoyed it. I think we can all relate to that. ;)

Running - Race Baton Rouge, LA Louisiana Marathon (Baton Rouge) Certified? Yes 7:00am Weather: 61; 100% humidity (went down slightly through race); 4 mph ENE wind; cloudy until mile 20	26.2 miles 03:13:46 (7:23 min/mile)

Oh, what a journey! Thanks to God who makes all things possible, my parents and family, and all my friends including you! I felt like I accomplished something today :)

I was so concerned about the humidity. Like yesterday's easy run, it started off at 100 percent. It seems lately that a great deal of my race anxiety is in the very early stages of my races, so the weather did not help matters. I am so thankful that at least it was cloudy for the majority of my race...about mile 20-end the sun crept out a bit. I think I just got used to the humidity throughout the race.

It took me about 8 miles in before my mind settled and the pace felt comfortable. SERIOUS KUDOS go out to 3:15 pacer Dan, and Lauren who was the 3rd place woman. I told both of them post race that I would not have the performance I had without them helping me! Pacer Dan was easygoing, friendly and a rock solid metronome for pacing. He really helped me establish my pace. My goal was a finish between 3:10 and 3:15. After about mile 16, Lauren and I went slightly ahead of Dan on our way and yo-yo'd passing and following. Even though we didn't talk much during the race itself, it was a true psychological help to have Dan and Lauren running with me.

I could not believe I was hitting splits late in the race from 7:13-7:20; quicker than the 7:26 average mile pace for a 3:15 marathon. I was just seeing how far I could ride it, and asking God for a lot of help. For the last 2 miles, I struggled, but got in at a time I was very pleased with, 3:13:46. Five minutes quicker than my last marathon (Northern Ohio, which I considered a good one), so I was thrilled!

I must mention that YOU all were a big assist to me in the race! I have loved running with the community here, and more treasured your friendship! I was thinking about those wishing to qualify for Boston and how your guts and determination inspire me. I had also seen "Patriots Day" yesterday, and the stories of the first responders, medical crews and survivors of the bombings pushed me in my race today. And as always, God, my parents and my family are my biggest inspirations.

The course itself was beautiful. Lots of oak trees, lakes, parks and lovely homes. LSU campus and Tiger Stadium were cool. The crowd support was fantastic, and the people of Baton Rouge are incredibly friendly. Finishing near the magnificent State Capitol building was amazing. And, if you are into post-race parties, this is one to write home about! It was all about Louisiana culture, from the fabulous live bands to an all-out smorgasbord of shrimp, po-boys, rice, etouffee, etc... My stomach is weak after races and can't take much food, so I only slightly indulged in the lesser spicy dishes, but clearly I was in the minority.

When I got my official results at the party, they printed them up like a receipt, and I was surprised to get 2nd place Men 45-49. For the awards, you merely showed them the slip and your bib and you got the goods. Actually, I did not realize that I was 3rd Master! I got a special mug, an art print of the race and a $25.00 certificate to use for the official race merchandise--I got a winter running cap.

Song of the day: 'Baton Rouge' by Guy Clark
A fun and funky song about a lovely city, and one of Guy's few official videos.

Lazed away my morning. It's been nice running in shorts the last couple of days. Legs were feeling decent after going long yesterday so I just kinda wandered around. Picked up the pace a couple of times in the last few miles, using runners in the distance as targets to catch. Hope the icepocalypse isn't doing much for all of you in Nebraska.

To the gym for some stairmill. Kicked my butt, that's for sure. Felt good though. Did lots of minutes two steps at a time. That's where the money is. Weights and yet another ten minute plank to follow.

Movie last night was so powerful. So sad! But ultra inspiring.

Looks like I might be home bound for a bit. Supplies are ready. Endust, Windex, and 409. Let's knock this mother out.

Happy Ice Age.

Dan I saw "Patriots Day" yesterday also (wanted to see it, plus it got me off my feet for day before race) and loved it. Yes, sad, graphic, but INSPIRING!

Be at the Jamaican trail head on Satillo Rd. at 7 am. Run for 20k or so at 8:30 pace first half then move towards sub 8 pace second half. Hit Panera afterwards.
