Ran easy with craig & john along the virgin river trail. It's so cool now. Had to wear gloves and long sleeve.

Easy run around town with a little hill climb and 2x400 when I passed the Dixie College track. Held 8:00 uphill and did a slightly slower than 800 pace on my 400s. Good Run. Not a big fan of taper week. I like to run more. Ave pace 7:49

St George Marathon (3:12:15)

Today was a PR and a strong finish. On top of that this is a Boston Qualifier by 13 minutes. I am in!! I have never had a marathon feel this good all the way to the finish. I finally took it easy at the start and if things were good by mile 18 I was going for it. I was flying the last 3 miles. I bet I passed at least 50 people. I had no garmin but the race did track my 10k splits. My times were 45:19, 1:38:55, 2:18:11, 3:12:15. Ave pace 7:21. At the finish line I felt like I could run another 26 miles

After the race I went to jack in the box for a burger and a diet dr pepper. Then I went home to shower and went back to the race to cheer cathy in. She was still a ways out so I ran up thr course to meet her and back in with her. Im still feeling good! :)
