City Creek @ 6pm. I almost never run this late in the day. It was a bit cooler and kind of nice.

I would usually run either Thursday or Friday before a marathon but this smoke seems to be getting to me. I've lost my voice and don't feel great, not sick but not 100% well....  So I'm resting.

A 10 day delay in posting my race report is indicative of my lackadaisical attitude toward running.  I still enjoy running but have no motivation to focus on it.  Maybe this is a more rounded and healthier way to live anyway?

I enjoyed seeing Tina, Smooth (and Larry), Brad, RAD, Kelli, Mel, and other bloggers who I don't even know their names. And I enjoyed the marathon!  I started slow and finished slower.  I was still tired by the end of the race but not spent or miserable.  I finished thirsty and should have taken more fluids but I hate having to stop to pee....  After finishing I downed a bunch of chocolate milk and overly colorful cold drinks.  Then I was ready to drive home and take a nap, and that is just what I did.  

 No recovery needed for this race.  I didn't even walk down the stairs funny on Sunday or Monday.   

 My time was 3:40:03, about 12 minute slower than last time I ran Park City and the Slam. 

Now..... should I plan and train for St. George or just cruise???????
