Final long run before STG.  Ran down emigration canyon to my house.  It was a run I had done a couple of times before in preparation for the DesNews Marathon earlier this year.  I have been putting in more miles in preparation for STG and it seems to be paying off.  Previously, I had struggled to finish this run and felt beat at the end of it.  Today, I felt much better at the end.  Finished with a average of 7:16 for the 22 miles.  Here are my splits:

Nice workout. That is a good workout for your last long run.
