Ran 1.5 miles around La Verkin, then got in my truck and drove up to Rockville. I ran 10 down from Rockville and then met up with Sunny. I felt ok on this run, expect I wore the compression socks and my feet were on fire, they really were bugging me, not hot like a blister, but more like athlete's foot or something? They were also bugging me last night before bed. Anyway not sure if I will wear the compression socks during the marathon. I might go get some of the sleeves. Ok back to the run. I actually did this same run last year on this same weekend. Comparing the times, I'm not as far off as I thought I would be. Last year I averaged 6:50 for 15. Today was 6:59 for 10, but I also never felt like I was pushing the pace. Also last year I was 10 pounds lighter, so I'm sure that makes a difference

The last two miles I was struggling some and not really there mentally.
