Ran the Mesquite Marathon route down the big downhill section. The first few miles the legs were a little stiff, but things started to loosen up after mile 2. Yesterdays crossfit workout left me a bit drained. Mile 8 & 9 got a little flat and I had to work a little harder to maintain pace. It's funny how I struggled with the flatter section after all that easy falling for the first 7 miles. Good run for a recovery week. I'm ready for track monday!! :)

I got a flyer in the mail last week about the Mesquite Marathon. Looks like the price went up $20.

Did we pay $55 two years ago? They did change the route. It's a direct run to the hotel instead of circling the city at the end.

Yep. $55. Cheapest marathon you'll find.
