10 mile evening run

After a very busy weekend I headed out for 10 more miles to make my weekend total 32! That makes 2 more than Dale! Not that we are competing or anything. I should be running more weekend miles, I am running a 50 miler in four weeks. Dale is running the Boston Marathon in 4 weeks! I am excited for you Dale!

I felt great this morning. I had minimal leg soreness from yesterday's long trail run. After a full day of yard work and playing with the boys I was a little more sore and tired. I was able to maintain a good even effort over the 10 miles tonight. I finished in 1:21:50 (avg pace 8:11). I stayed in Quartz Hill tonight and did a 1 mile hill, a half mile hill, and a 1.5 mile hill.

The LA Marathon was this morning.
Congratulations to Ron and Julie Gallagher who finished their first marathon together in 5:31:08. You know less than 1% of the population runs these marathons. Welcome to the club. We are proud of you both.
Congratulation also to Chuck Fieland who finished his 21st LA Marathon in 3:57:18.
It was fun to follow you all online.
Heard it was a hot one down there.

Wesley Korir was the LA Marathon champion with a time of 2:09:19.
Aimee if you are reading this, Wesley was also on his honeymoon in Los Angeles, and also brought his coach along!

From the LA Times:
Korir arrived in Southern California on Monday, with personal coach Ron Mann in tow to help keep him focused during a weeklong honeymoon in which the runner said he did little besides train and stay inside his hotel.

"I'm not sure I could have handled a marathon on my honeymoon," Mann said, "but he's got a special relationship with Tarah."

Said Korir: "Every time I was running, I was thinking about her."
