AP - 8:05 

5:30 a.m run w/ my friends that are a little faster and in better shape than I am.  :)

 Wow, was this tough!  It felt good, though, to push myself to keep up.  We ran all around St. George including through downtown where the Ironman finish is today.  We are going later to cheer on the athletes on their final marathon. 

I feel so tired and hungry right now like I just ran a half marathon.  Actually the first 13 miles, we ran in 1:45, so for me - that was a pretty fast half marathon I did today!  Luckily I had an energy bar/banana before going out and Annie shared her GU with me when we stopped for a drink.

I will definitely slow it way down next week for the 18. 

Gotta go stretch.

Sweet run Becca! You should be proud of your 14 today.

I love Ironman St.George (as a spectator). It's so fun to watch the athletes come in. That course alone is a challenge.
