The first 10 miles of the run I went a pretty easy pace, and then sped up for the last 10. My split for the last ten miles was 1:11:45 (with the last two miles in 6:24 and 6:31). I finished with a 1.5 mile cooldown. I didn't sleep very well last night, so I was happy with this run. Now it's time to start my taper for St. George. My first (and only) marathon I didn't taper, since I was just going to do it as a long run (and, consequently, I ended up hurt), so I'm looking forward to this one. I've kept my mileage relatively low just to play it safe and to get a good base under me in order to bump up my training for some faster times in the next few years.
Elixir: 47.5 miles
