10.12 miles in SoJo.  Temps upper 60's to low 70's by the finish.

I received my cancellation email from St. George yesterday...bummer.  I am going to find another marathon to run.  Probably a much smaller one as they seem to have a better chance of actually occurring.

It was even cooler at the top of Buckskin this week.  45 degrees.  I was running down the back side, same as last week, but about 3-4 seconds per mile slower.  At about 9.5 miles Doug Lenio came up next to me on his bike and we chatted for 5 miles!  He really helped pace me and I ended up Faster than last week!

I ran 1.5 miles past Century and did 22.06 SOLID miles!
