I thought I had my spring races planned out and I just realized, I am used to running at sea level... would I be able to fly into Utah and run 31 miles?? I looked online for any info but couldn't really find anything. Does anyone know about racing in high elevations when you have never run there before?

I appreciate any input, I've got to make my decision soon because if I don't do this race I may run Boston in the spring. Thanks!

Definitely not feeling great yet. When out to do four, but I ran 3, walked .5 then ran the remaining .5. Knees are hurting and my quads felt like bricks.

It makes me wonder how often I really want to run marathons, because they really take a lot out of you. And I think my favorite part of the entire process this time were the shorter races I ran while training for it. And they didn't leave my body feeling so beat up.

5 miles without stopping! Furthest since the marathon.

Still a little pain in the left knee.

Running will be tough for the next week or so, I'm going to Alabama for a wedding this weekend, then another wedding in Maryland next weekend. Crazy.
