I did a little research just now Dave. Checked 3 sites. Weather.com says 54 degrees in Central and 10 mph winds (although that is probably later in the day). Accuweather.com says 47 degrees and only 2-5 mph winds. Intellicast.com says 54 degrees and 10 mph winds. The wind is a headwind, but at least it's not too bad.

I'll go with the 47 and 2-5 wind! That is pretty warm for the start up there - those finishing later in the day are going to have some heat to deal with in town.

Dave- I will use that as my motivation to get done earlier. Greg- I'm going for the record of best time while not running more than 40 miles per week. Clyde- You can put me down for the third tier of runners, or the farm team, or those just hoping to make it to the starting line.
As far as predictions..I think any of our top St. George guys have just as good as shot as anybody else. I'm also seeing PR's for Steven Abraham Lincoln Pope Hooper, James Holt, Mike "Broken Bigfoot" Warren and Bill "Wildbull" Campbell.
As for myself and my Little Buddha. I'm thinking anywhere between 2:50 to 3:00, but I could also surprise myself. My main goal is to not look like a sleeping bum on the street once I get done like I did at Utah Valley.

Dustin you always surprise when racing. You'll do great man. I keep telling you that your faster than you give yourself credit for.

This older Iowa boy gives support to all. You're my motivation (not inspiration because that strikes a cheesy love song tone). Have a great race!

It looks like the wind may be from the west now. A cross wind would not be bad. Temps around 56 at the start and 69-72 at the end. Warmer than years past, but not too bad. Unless you run 5 or 6 hours.

Lets just hope for no wind. This could be one of the HOTTEST STG marathons EVER according to the National Regional Weather District Announcement Service Center (NRWDASC).

Good luck with the heat, everyone. We're still hitting 90 in Logan, which is kind of scary. But the faster you run, the cooler you'll stay!

Looks like 1-2 mph wind, so that should not be a factor. I hope it is not as smoky as it is in Cedar though. Yesterday's run made me cough a little.
