6:20 am. Headed north on Main. I really wasn't feeling it; walking after each mile for a bit. I even stopped to lie down in a driveway after mile 3. This seemed to help, and I kept going. I ran into Jasmine at about 5 miles. She had 20 planned so we ran the next 9 or so together. We took the switchback trail up to BST and ran to 1300 east in Bountiful. These were tough miles with lots of climb. I had no fuel, which is becoming thematic. . I turned for home just after rocket park.

Following the run I spent 6 hours helping the boys catch up on the lawns. My arms got as tired as my legs. Again, no food from 10:30 till 4:30.

Next week's long run will be 75 minutes. I'm jealous of everyone who ran TOU yesterday. I wish my marathon was complete. It's going to be a great day, but I'm not excited about the next 2 weeks of anxiety.

91/100 bonus switchback without the down. I think I'll be able to wrap up nine more in the next 12 days.

nice run on little fuel. Main is a good spot to find good running partners!

I should of joined you guys yest and made it a weekly thing. Haha. I agree w you on the wishing to be done and the anxiety coming up. I'm right there too. I find myself quite often asking myself if I can even run a marathon. Yikes! The unknown of never running one is freaking me out man.

Nice run! The 4:30 switchback run on Friday must've wiped you out. Those killer switchbacks are your secret formula for this fall marathon. Way to tough it out, then go glycogen deficient all day for the boys. That's some great muscle training.
