It was 37 degrees and windy this morning.  I did a good tempo run with 4 MP miles and good pace on all the miles just taking it easy on the uphills.  I ran 10.54 miles in all.

I got my official e-mail that I hit the lottery for St.George!!!!  I always earn my way in through the Grand Slam but it is alot easier and less-stressful this way.

Good luck at Ogden!

Good luck at Ogden. What time are you shooting for? I've never ran the full Ogden Marathon, just the half a few years ago, should be fun.

Surprisingly chilly I think. The Cascades have a bunch of snow on them this morning. It's very pretty actually. Nice run, Bill.

Dustin, I am going to shoot for a time in the low 2:50's. My PR is 2:53 and if the conditions are right I think I can break it.

From Dustin on Tue, May 12, 2009 at 12:08:38 from 204.113.48.69

That sounds good. I'll try to introduce myself at the start. I'm probably looking at a similar time.

Sounds great Dustin. I look forward to meeting you.

Bill, if I don't see you before Saturday "GO FOR IT" and get that PR my friend. I was going to turn around and run with you Monday, but you looked focus and I didn't want to bother you during the run to prepare for Ogden this week. I thought you might be doing a tempo run.

Anyway have a great race and enjoy the PR that your going to get.

Congratulations, for hitting the Lottery! When is St. George Marathon?
