I just couldn't handle not running any longer.  I felt good so I decided to go out for a run and loosen up the muscles. It was a nice run. I am really going to make sure I won't have any excuses on my next marathon. I want to spend a lot of time running trails, while doing all my speed work on the road. I ran up slate canyon and along the BST over to the Y. and then down and back to my place. It was nice to get some climbing in and get the heart rate up while still taking it easy. The legs felt good. ave pace was an 8:15. Time to start building.

Got some good trail miles in today.  Ran the 051 trail with a good group.  Had a friend do his first trail run as well and it was a little much for him.  I hung back with him so he wouldn't get lost so it was much slower than I wanted. I was proud of my friend though.  He did awesome.  Got back to the car and did a little more with Eric. We went straight up the mountain till my stomach couldn't handle it any more. I had to run back down and hope that nothing came out.  It was a good run and the legs felt great.

I had some friends running the AF half so I decided I would run with them for a bit. I started at the finish line and ran up to the aid station at the mouth of the canyon. As I was getting close I saw the first runners come through. I saw Scott, who looked real good flying down the course, and I saw all the others cruising down.  I ran a short distance with Tristram Jones and he was cruising as well. I went back up and then ran back down with my friend and his son. Kevin, my friend, is a 2 -time cancer survivor and was running for that purpose. He brother had recently passed away from cancer as well.  It was an emotional run. They ran stellar. They finished in 1:47. I was so excited to see them and run with them.
