| 6.35 miles on Little Mountain Base double-track trail and back via Settlement Point. 2:00 p.m. run. Gorgeous fall day! Good hill work. 9:27 pace overall. Good last mile or so. Great sunshine and nice running temperatures. Felt pretty good. Left calf is much improved, right knee still a bit of an ache. | | Add Comment |

| 6:00 p.m. run. Very slow and easy with Gina on Skyline Ave. Dark due to time change. I hate this time of year as far as running. Nothing in daylight except Saturdays. Oh well, I always get used to it after a few days, so I'll stop whining. How cool was it that Meb won the New York City Marathon yesterday? First time in 27 years that an American male has won it, that's as long as I've been running. 1982. Wow, 2:09:15! He put away Robert Cheryiot in the last miles, 4x Boston Marathon champion! 6 of the top 10 were Americans! Ryan Hall also did great and was 4th, although he was disappointed, I'm sure. | | Add Comment |

| 6:15 p.m. run. Very slow 4.5 miles with Gina. Last run for her until Snow Canyon on Saturday. It looks like we'll be running a very slow time, but that's okay. Weather is supposed to be good. | | Add Comment |

| Missed my run this morning, but came home from work early so was able to run with some daylight. 4.1 miles on double track behind Little Mountain. 9:10 average pace. 8:03 fastest mile. Felt okay. Gina has decided to bag Snow Canyon 1/2 on Saturday, not feeling up to it physically or mentally. I'll still be going but will still be slow. I haven't been able to concentrate on any speed work since before the marathon. 1:45 would be a very decent time, if I could manage that. We'll see. Rest tomorrow and heading down late afternoon. | | Add Comment |

| Snow Canyon 1/2 Marathon. Great run, great scenery, great weather, great course.!!!! 13.1 miles in 1:40:51 or average of 7:42. The first mile was like falling off a cliff, taking it easy still ran 6:49 that mile. Remainder of splits: 6:59, 7:37, 8:33, 8:26, 7:23, 7:52, 7:34, 7:36, 7:31, 7:57, 7:42, and 7:48. 8th place of 32 in M50-54 division, 83rd of 340 in overall Mens and 106 of 843 total field. Pretty sore tonight. Way too much congestion in finish area. Ridiculous clothing retrieval, otherwise a good event. May do this one again. | | Add Comment |
