Ran 10.5 up around the reservoir. I felt pretty good this morning and had to resist the temptation to run faster or farther. I kept in mind last year 2 days after the same Freedom Run when I was feeling good and ran a 14 miler and wound up with a hamstring problem that kept me from much training for the next month and a half which should have been the main build up time for TOU last year. Overall pace 10.5 miles.

So...you're running YOU this year? You may have already told me but I forgot.

No. I'm running St George which is only 2 weeks later. I would have if I hadn't drawn for St George. I was planning to run TOU half but it filled up before I got registered. Have you decided yet?
