| Ran the Shadow Valley Elementary/Ogden Clinic for the second year. First 1/2 mile is uphill, then rolling hills, downhill to the finish. The start was very crowded with a lot of slower runners near the front. It took a while to get around them. 4th in the 50-54 AG. 3 seconds faster than last year. 124 of 308 overall. Fun race. |

| Ran on roads. Encountered a 'mini'-triathelon in progress. 200 meter swin, 4 mile bike, 2 mile run. Lots of kids participating. Looked like they were all having fun. I knew quite a few boys in the race, they were riding while I ran. I ended by doing some hill training. |

I finished the Ogden Marathon! Met all my goals except my target time. My goals were: 1. Finish, 2. Don't finish last, 3. Don't finish last in Age Group, 4. Set a new PR. 5. Under 6 hour finish.
My only other Marathon was 2009 Park City. I finished dead last. I beat that time by 31:31.2 so I was happy for the improvement.
Beautiful course, well organized race. Those of us at the back-of-the-pack got to 'enjoy' a pretty strong headwind while running down the canyon, at times almost negating the benefit of going downhill. I met my time goals for the first half, but slowed significantly from then on. I guess I'll just have to train harder/better for the next big race.
Thanks to friends Pam Daniels (1/2 marathon racer) and the legendary ultra runner Davy Crockett (3:23 finish) for waiting around and cheering me on at the finish. Davy came out and ran to the finish line with me.

| Morning run in Nashville, TN. Tried to find tree-shaded roads. The heat and humidity really sap the energy out of me. I'm amazed at the difference the shade makes. |

| In Atlanta. Tried running after dark, hoping it would be cooler, still 85 degrees outside, but the sun wasn't beating down on me. Great run with lots of hills. Two easy miles, 6 at marathon pace, then 2 more easy. |

| In Atlanta. Early morning run following late night run yesterday. Felt good running the hills. After living in Savannah, Georgia for 15 years then Utah for the last 3-1/2 years, the humidity in Atlanta is reminding me of one big reason I wanted to move. I miss the cool mountain trails of Utah.

Overcast day in Atlanta! It was actually pleasant running. Didn't have much time so only got in 3.1 miles. |

| Had a change of plans. I found a local 5k race in Alpheretta, GA, but my daughter wanted to go to Savannah, our former home. Could not find any races in or around Savannah. Ran 6.5 miles. It was overcast all day so it was not too hot. |
