8 in St. George on our way back to California.  I got some Altra Instincts today at St. George Running Center and I hope they work out well.

7 miles around campus back in Riverside.  I went with the Altra Instincts and they felt quite good.  Since I've been running some in flats, Fivefingers, and some barefoot, I don't think they were as big a shock to my feet/legs, but we'll have to see.

Another mostly easy run around campus.  We're busy getting settled in again and taking care of shopping/car registration/etc before I start teaching/working/writing next week.

8 miles around campus with the boys in the stroller.  The Altras feel really nice and my legs feel good with this taper week.

I did right around 14 in 1:38, which is right about 7 minutes per mile.  I had a few slower ones while I was pushing the boys in the stroller, but I did the last three miles averaging 6:15, and that felt pretty good.  This week has felt really good, so I'm hoping that translates into a smooth marathon.  I'd like to break 3 hours, but after last years weird race, I'd be happy with a sub 3:10/3:05.  This year has been great for me as far as consistency, so I'm encouraged for future years.
