Slowly trying to get in shape for St. George, hoping to vastly improve on my time from 2004, where I totally bonked at the end and came in at 3:58. Ran 4-mile loop on asphalt, ended up running faster than I had planned on. I hit my first mile in 7:50, second mile in 7:30, third in 7:15 (whoops!), and then tried to slow down for my fourth mile, but ran it in 7:40. My marathon goal is 3:30, which equates to about 8:00/mile, so I was quite a bit too fast here. |
