No run today, trying to be fresh for half-marathon tomorrow. Looks like the weather might be unfavorable; wind and possible rain. Funny, I didn't think I was in St.George again. Did some abdominal work to pass the time this morning. I should do well tomorrow but I won't beat Kory if he pushes it. My 100% is about equal to his 75%.

Bill, I'm no where near ready for this race. I'm really just running it for fun, and might just pace Barry. But I could go out and see what I could do. If you want I could try to really push it to push you to PR.

But my body might just break down if I try going fast. I haven't been able to run really fast this week, because I've been weak and fatigued.

Just go out and have fun, what pace do you plan to run at?

Kory, I don't think I can go much faster than a 1:25....but you never know. I would rather have you pace Barry because this race is more of a goal race for him than it is for you and me.

Just run by feel and take the first few miles a little easier on the extreme downhill. I bet you'll surprise yourself. I've ran the rest of the course and it's not easy with the rolling hills. By taking the first few miles easier will make the rolling hills not as tough on your legs.

Good luck and have fun!
