Real good workout this morning, I think we're (St. George Running Club) ready for the marathon. We went 10.5 miles up the course then just cruised down. My goal was just to hit a few miles at marathon race pace, but it turned out to being pretty fast the whole way down which was fine, because the body was feeling good and the pace was also feeling good. Only concern was a little hip pain, but I've just been running through that. 1-6:21 Steve and Dave started off quite a bit faster, but it took me two miles to warm-up,
2-6:06- Still hanging back with Toby and Bill 3-6:13 pick up the pace and attack the Winchester Hill 4-6:00 5-5:38 Now I'm starting to have some fun, Steve and Dave are still in sight, but running fast 6-5:40 Another good mile, feeling fine 7-5:38 8-5:52 Steve and Dave slowed down a bit and I was able to catch up to them at Snow Canyon Parkway, which was nice being able to finish the last two miles with them. 9-5:53 This felt easy going down Diagonal, we were actually visiting some this mile 10-5:38 (59:03) Picked up the pace a little again, as we were getting close to the finish .5 2:32 I wanted to push the last half mile especially, just to mentally prepare myself and simulate finishing strong on 300 South next weekend! Overall 1:01:36 with a 5:53 average which is well under my marathon race pace. Dave and I did another .5 mile cool-down at the park Speedstar-32
