So the first four miles were pretty easy-ish pushing the boys in the stroller.  Then I went the next 3 averaging 6:40 per mile and then last 3 averaging 6:10 per mile.  This felt really good so I'm hoping that bodes well for St. George.  I'd just like to have a smooth, uneventful race.  I'd love to break 3 hours, but would be happy with 3:05 or even 3:10.  Next year, I'll be looking to cut it down to under 2:50 or so, which I hope comes with more consistent miles and some more tempo runs and such.
