It was 52 degrees, but it felt a bit cool.  I must be used to warmer temps.  I ran 8.16 miles easy, 4 of them with Bob.  Nice, easy recovery run.

It was 70 degrees this morning.....UGH.  I ran 6.62 miles easy.  My left IT band is bothering me and it is taking 3 miles or so to loosen up each day.

It was warm (69) and windy this morning.  I ran 5.80 miles easy with a couple pick-ups just to check the injury.  Park City will just be a fun run for me.  Hoping for a better recovery by St. George.

This is NOT a race report.  I completed the Park City marathon, but I did it like an ultra with lots of walk breaks.  I met lots of nice people and talked to a bunch of new people.  I kept my injury issue fairly calm so it was mission accomplished.  And yes, it took me just over 4 hours :(
