I don't feel like killing myself in June at Utah Valley Marathon, so instead of signing up for that, I signed up for the Drop13 half on the same day (down BCC). That race is obviously ridiculously downhill, but I signed up to have some fun with it and try to get an elite status qualifier for St George (1:13:00). I calculate that a 1:15:00 on a pancake flat course at sea level with no sharp turns (or 1:15:30-1:16:00 on a typical "fast" course) would equate to 1:11:20 here, despite the altitude, so I think I should be able to get it. I'm really excited about training again lately and, as can be seen from most of what I've done this week, I'm excited about running FAST, so this seems like a reasonable goal for me. Going to do something long-ish tonight.
Run: Just 10 miles. Going longer with Fritz tomorrow. Treadmill at gym since it was windy and I was being a wimp. 64:31, mostly 6:30-6:50, then last mile in 5:31.
