Ran out in the hot (90), dry wind of st george for lunch. Ran harder this time to out run the horse flies. I got bit twice but I killed 8 of them. 8 ave
TM run at the rec ctr. First qtr mile was walking then the rest was 8:45 ave. Walking worked out the tightness/soreness. Felt good at the end except for numb arms.
Ran mostly down the marathon course. Started at snow cyn ball field so my first 1.5 was a climb. Needed the hill. Cathy ran the last 3 miles with me. Ave 8:15 at first... probably too fast. Ran 9:15 is cathy.
First week of marathon training done. Feel good about it. Lots of building to do before I can push it hard. A 3:30 marathon may be too ambitious. Lets see how far I can get these next 3 months.
