Hi, my name is Cameron and I'm addicted to running.

I'm currently a student at BYU majoring in neuroscience. I ran cross country and track in high school at Snow Canyon High.

The final week. I cannot wait to see how this goes! I also can't wait to start training hard again. This taper has got me down, but I realize the necessity of it lasting so long, at least until I get up to 13-15 miles a day.

I've been looking at last year's results for the marathon, and I know that I could win my age division if I can go out and feel good. The adrenaline and people will give me that boost I need to maintain a quick pace.  If not first, I know I will get in the top 8 for sure, which means I at least get a plaque!

I'm not sure what to do this week though, so any suggestions would be appreciated. I've been thinking and here's what I'm planning

Monday - 6 miles

Tuesday 3 miles

Wednesday 4x400 @ Fun, but fast pace

Thursday and Friday - off

Saturday - 26.2 @ however fast my body will let me go.

As far as getting down to Saint George, I'm hoping my parents will come pick me up. . . I don't want to ride the shuttle.
