A clydesdale no more!

I have given myself a few extra days of recovery from the marathon last week.  I had a nasty knot in my calf that took a few days to work out.  I'm pacing the Snow Canyon half tomorrow so I figured I better get a quick run in just to make sure that I could run.  I may be in trouble.  No aches or pains but felt slow.  Good thing Tom will be there with me to carry on if I can't make it.

Paced the 1:50 group with Tom.  Absolutely perfect racing weather.  Uneventful pacing because we were right on pace from start to finish.  We held a 20 second cushion fo rmuch of the race and were on pace to the second at mile 12.  Tom and I have similar pacing styles so we worked well together.  I was concerned about being fully recovered from the marathon but the pace felt good the entire run.  A little slower than what I would like to run which is a good thing.  After I finished I ran beck to find Becky who was pacing the 2 hour group.  She did well for her first pacing experience.
