morning - 7.5 Tortoise.  Ran up the Tortoise road for practice and then I added a little around the townhomes and up through Cottonmill for a little more.  (Barefoot '11 71.5)(Triumph silver 571.3)

AM - 8.5 Dirt Mile.  Went up to the desert (or what was once the desert) and marked out a mile loop for my team to run on every now and then.  While there I ran 4x1/2 miles at marathon pace.  Felt a little bit off, but nothing that didn't work itself out by the last one.  Not a killer pace, just nice and controlled.  (NB 101 77.75)

morning - 7.5 Dirt Mile.  Ran over to practice where we ran up to the Dirt Mile and ran a couple and back.  I then added a little around.  (Barefoot '11 72)(Free 470.45)

Iced up this morning and did the foam roller for the last time before the race.  Things are looking and feeling good.

Had a neighbor ask me the other day why I am still running.  His question was, "What do you still have to prove?"  I thought it was a rather odd question (but I guess not to nonrunners) - prove... I have a lot left to prove; you never stop "proving" throughout your whole life.

AM - 6 Desert/Grass.  Ran a couple miles before practice and then we hit the grass for practice.  At this point in the taper I get hypersensitive to how I am feeling.  It feels like everything aches a little more and each little soreness is amplified.  Once I hit the grass everything felt good.  (Barefoot '11 75.5)(Landreth black 1022.35)

morning - 4.5 Grapevine.  Ran from Sienna Hills Park out to Grapevine.  Nothing but good stuff in the legs.  And, ironically enough, I had "Time for me to Fly" in my mind all morning!  (Barefoot '11 76)(Stratus grey 802.85)

Utah Valley Marathon 2:42:06

A poor effort both mentally and physically.  My grandma has probably run the 2nd half of marathons better than this (but maybe not as part as a full, just a solo half).  (Last Ohana 185.5)

I'll write more later - but I know some of my friends would want to see how I did and wouldn't want to disappoint!
