6.5 in the morning

5.5 in the afternoon. The air quality isn't the best out due to the fires all around us. After my run tonight I came home and had black stuff in the corners of my eyes from all the ash in the air...I guess.

7-mile morning run.

I had a dream last night that I woke up at about 8 a.m. on the day of the St. George Marathon. In my dream I was just doing normal Saturday morning things and I talked to some guy outside of my house and he said "well they are on their way." I said, "who's on their way." "The marathoners," he said. At that moment my whole body went limp and my mind race to realize I'd slept in. I ran in the house and sobbed. Then at that moment the rain came from nowhere and wind like I'd never seen before. Then with in seconds I felt comforted and decided that if it had been bad weather then it wasn't the best circumstances for me to run a PR marathon and achieve my running goals....

Anyways as you can see this was a bad dream, well a nightmare. I hope it means nothing. I'll have every alarm clock in the house set this year just to make sure, and as far as the weather... I guess we are all hoping for good running weather this year for the STGM.

Ran out and back for 6 more miles. Before I left I felt great, better than I remember feeling anytime the last few weeks. However about 3 miles into the run I died. It was still around a 100 and my energy level just got zapped. Had to turn around and come home with my tail between my legs.

Got some good rest last night. Plus I ate and drank some good stuff to fill my tank back to normal.

Just did a easy run this morning. Will run a few with the club tonight.

Ran around the park area for another 3 miles with the club, had to do some laps at the park to get there.

Drove from my house up the Marathon road here in St. George. The 20 mile mark just happend to fal at the top of Veyo hill. So I started out from the crest of the hill to the top of Dameron Valley its about 3 and a half to 4 mile climb. I ran this part really slow, just couldn't get going. Then once I started the down hills got into a good tempo and came to my halfway point at 1:05.16 that was at Winchestor hills area. Then started my last leg and ran fine until the light where I cut up and hit the skyline drive road. From there it was all very difficult. I just wanted to quit. Still ran a negative split and loged 1:02.20 for my last leg. Total for the run was 2:07.36 ish . I was a little bumb with the time really wanted to run 20 miles at or under 2hrs. This run tells me there is alot of work to do. My only disclaimer is that I haven't tappered off any this week or last to get ready for this run, in fact I've jumped my mileage up. Good thing its June and not September.

I wanted to get to 80 miles this week but didn't know if I could after the 20 mile run on Friday so I had to play it by ear. The good news was I woke up this morning and felt great- not sore at all after the big run yesterday.

So I ran what I needed to get to week goal.
