Nice, easy run this morning.  Legs felt good after day off.  Kept all the miles in 7:30-7:45 range.  Will run pick-ups tomorrow to prep for St. George.  5 days to go.

Good run Easy runs till the race are important. You've put in some great mileage to really do well. I think if you can hit the downhill hard you'll reach your goal.
