Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
10.27	0.00	10.27

It was beautiful this morning.....46 degrees, a light breeze, sun coming up..... I ran nice and easy today as a recovery run after Saturday. My right hammy was tight for the first 5-6 miles but it finally loosened-up. That nasty blister on my right foot was bearable and only bothered me when it "gooshed" a bit when making turns. I knew it was there but it was OK. I think the blister caused me to run a bit off balance the last 11 miles of the marathon and that is probably why the hammy is tight. I ran 10.27 miles in a slow pace and the legs, while not fast, felt pretty good.

You are so strong. Well done.

I'm sure the blister cost you the PR. You trained so hard for Ogden that you would have achieved it if that inconvenience wasn't there. What's the next race for you?

Oh how did Barry Smith do?

Kory, I am doing Utah Valley in June. Barry ran a 3:08, a huge PR for him.
