5:00 a.m. 40 minutes at Gold's Gym. 20/20 elliptical/cycling workout.
6:15 p.m. 5 mile run on Skyline into Elk Ridge and back via Loma Vista and Upland loops. Winter is in the air. Full sweats. Supposed to even be cold in St. George on Saturday. But we'll be warmer than Tooele, UT. |

| 5:00 a.m. 40 minutes at Gold's Gym. 20/20 elliptical/cycling workout. No run tonight. Resting. Why do weather forecasters even bother with 7 or even 5 day forecasts? At about 6 days out they were predicting cold, but sunny for St. George on Saturday. Then a couple of days ago, they said cloudy. Now they say rain on Saturday morning now that we're two days away. I guess they've got it all covered, because no matter what happens, they'll be correct. Thanks a lot Grant Weyman and all the rest. It's going to be a cold start either way. | | Comments(6) |

Snow Canyon 1/2 Marathon in 1:47:30, 8:13 AP. A cold start, but a gorgeous day for a run. Grant Weyman got it wrong and it was really, really nice. My strategy was to start out slow and then just fizzle out all together from there. Actually I felt strong throughout. Just a bit faster than last year, but I didn't have to struggle with the calf muscle the last 3 miles like I did then, so the effort was probably about the same. 1,404 finishers. Split times: (The course read long on my Garmin at about 13.23 miles, 8:08 AP). 8:23, 8:16, 8:06, 7:38, 7:39, 7:42, 7:41, 8:44, 7:55, 8:15, 8:30, 8:31, 8:24, 8:02.
