*I've been thinking a little about the upcoming Mesa Marathon. I am worried that my body isn't ready for another attempt at a sub 3 hour marathon. Just thinking about it stresses me out. So I am going to take a different approach on this marathon. I'll try to run really conservative and finish strong (something I have never done in a marathon). Who knows maybe I'll still run a solid time. I am just tired of going for 3 then falling apart at the end anyways. My body and mind just need a little break from it all. 

PM- Ran with Marieta over in Snow Canyon territory. 3.17 miles

PM- Got a head start on running in the desert towards Sand Hill. I even ran up Water Tank waiting for the team. Jumped in with the boys who were bombing down hills. Then we ran across a Minnesota lady high centered on a rock with her BMW. The boys helped her out by pushing, adding rocks under the tires, and directing. She was very grateful for the help. I had a hard time staying with the boys on the sandy uphills. I successfully caught up once we hit some downhill. The rain was coming down pretty strong. Fun run with some hamstring tightness. 6.89 miles

Marieta met with Janz and Mia at Mia's house so I started my run from there. Ran through the Springs and new neighborhoods there. Connected to the trail system and on to the Dixie Center, side trail behind Chic Fila. There's a new trail section that connects close to the Skate park. Ran the COVID 200 section Aaron created then ran back the way I came and past Ava's spot. Coincidentally ran into my Mom at the cemetery. Stopped for a minute to chat. Then ran home from there. Goal was to run marathon pace and keep my chill miles under 8. Did a set of 4, 3, 2, 2 sets with chill mile in between.

Operation have a good run with Alianna and Laney. At first it was hard to get things moving, we did have some uphill climbs.
