Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
8.11	7.13	15.24

It was 44 degrees this morning, absolutely gorgeous. I ran 10.11 miles in a decent pace. With the doubles I have been running I am a bit more tired but I seem to be more flexible. Is that normal?

Evening. I decided to pack some running clothes so I could get my run in before it got too late. I stopped in Blackfoot on my way home and did my run on the greenbelt that starts at Jensen Grove. It was 82 degrees and I ran 5.13 miles in a nice pace.

In my humble opinion i would have to say yes. I think your body is getting use to running doubles and in a couple of weeks you should ok. When is your next race again?

Bill,

You are looking primed for a great St. George. I'd be happy to run with you, though I may be pacing to run through the first half based on a 2:55 target, which may be a bit slower than you like. We can sort it all out.
