I did my department physical fitness test today.  I did 100 push ups in 60 seconds!!!  My run was a little slower then usual 1.5 miles in 8:57.  I still beat everbody there, so I was happy.

8 easy miles today.  Felt great.  Don't think I'll run again until the marathon.  Man my wife is excited!!  I can't wait to run with her.  I hope I don't slow her down.

Well, I ran the St. George Marathon with my wife today.  Man the weather was crappy as I'm sure anyone whom ran it would agree.  It was cold.  I was cramped the whole time and never really loosened up. 

The rain would not stop and a good head wind at times.  I ran with my wife and I was proud to say that despite the weather she set herself a new PR of 3:51:54!!!  I was glad she didn't run any faster, it wasn't easy for me. 

When we got done I was so chaffed from the rain I could barely walk.  I'm going to lose two toe nails.  Other then that, I had fun running with my wife.  The last 3 miles she really picked it up to PR.  I had to push her at the end, but she pulled it off.  There's no way I could have PR'ed in weather like that.
