Another day off for me this week.  I'm taking things even more easy this week than I normally would just to make sure I'm good to go on Saturday.  Goals for Saturday are:

C. Break last year's time of 2:56:05

B. Low 2:50s (2:51:xx - 2:53:xx)

A. Break 2:50:00

I've never trained better for a marathon and I've put in a lot more miles than I have before, but I know that doesn't necessarily translate to a good race time.  Running a time (2:50:00) that you've never run before is almost more mental for me than anything, but I'm confident I can pull off a good race.  The plan is to hit the half around 1:26:30 and then hopefully run around 1:23:00 - 1:24:00 over the second half of the course.  Looking forward to the race though.  Leave for St. George tomorrow.

Good luck man! Running with the Utah County group I'm sure has gotten you 100% more confidence. You should rock it!

Someday I'll run with you again.

Thanks, Rob. You're right. I've only been running with them 1-3 times a week but it has worked wonders for my confidence. Nice to see you getting some miles in. Keep getting healthy.
