     I decided to try a little bit of faster running this morning. The first since the marathon. I ran a 3.75 mile warmup at 7:49 pace. Then did 4.25 miles of fartlek running  6x1/2 miles faster with 1/4 mile recoveries. Averaged 6:52 on the last 4.25. Overall pace for 8 miles was 7:19. I felt a bit slow this morning but I don't seem to have any lingering injuries from the marathon. I do have a little back soreness but that's probably more from packing out the elk last week than the marathon. The last 2 marathons I did it, seemed like I spent several weeks recovering from injuries after the races. Mainly injuries that I already had going into the race.

     Spent the night in Mesquite. Went on a nice 6 mile run through some very nice neighborhoods along the east side of town. A lot of hills on the run. Later that day my wife and I went on a 6:1/2 mile hike near Zions Park. I ran 1 1/2 miles of the hike. It's tricky running on slickrock. We brought back some nice pieces of petrified wood. The weather was perfect.
