Just to quick run to loosen up and make sure that I'm firing on all cylinders. Even though I tend to be hypersensitive to the smallest sign of trouble this close to the marathon, there were really no significant aches or pains that lasted more than a minute or so. It's not a guarantee, as all kinds of weird things seem to happen during the race itself, but at this point it's all I can hope for.

Best of luck at Top of Utah, Kerry!

It looks like the temperatures should be good. It looks like around 51' in Logan at start time, probably a little cooler up the canyon, and shouldn't be much above 60' when you finish. It looks like a small chance of rain, but runners don't melt.

Enjoy the adventure!

It looks like they will have live runner tracking. I did not see your name in the list of bib numbers. Do you know your bib number?

I noticed Verdon and his son are running, too. Say hello for me if you see them.

Good luck Kerry! I think you'll do great. Looking forward to the race report.

Good running Kerry!

I hope all the stars are aligned, the weather to be good, and you are firing on all clyinders, but you don't need any of that, you trained well and now you reap what you sowed, which might be a PR.

Thanks, all! I'm looking forward to the adventure. I didn't sign up until about ten days ago, so I'm not surprised they didn't have my name on the list. I'm happy to hear that Verdon and his son are running it. I'll certainly say hello.
