| St. George Marathon. 3:39:52. BQ by a mere 7 seconds. 8:24 AP. Cool day, but sunny and clear. Very cold at starting line, right around 32 degrees. 50-55 degrees at finish. 20th St. George for me. 29th marathon. Went to induction at the 10 year club dinner which was very nice. #10 for Matt1 and #15 for Liz. My 25 year old and youngest son, Rick, ran his very first marathon in 3:20:53. He just started running in March! I am truly amazed! A great day today! |

| 8:30 a.m. 12 miles in Snow Canyon, 8 on the West Canyon gravel service road and 4 more on the paved path and steeper canyon road above the end of the path and back to the parking. A bit sluggish today in 1:56:46, but taking in the gorgeous views in this fabulous canyon! Nice clear day. Coincidentally saw Mike, from my 2010 Wasatch Back team, in the parking lot who was parking right next to me when I arrived. |
