Inspired by my fellow St. George Running Club members that battled the Boston Marathon today, I went ahead a registered for the Ogden Marathon. I'm not sure what kind of shape I'm in, but I think I will be able to handle the marathon and run a respectable time, as long as my training continues to improve. I went out tonight and ran from the house to Hurricane Intermediate School out on 180 West, then came back on a different street. Overall time was 53:49 for 8 miles so it worked out to 6:43 average pace. I felt good and kept throwing in little surges when I felt like I was slowing down. (Nimbus 148.5) |
