It was 45 degrees this morning....it felt great. I wanted some MP miles today as my last hard effort before Saturday. I ran 6.51 miles all between 6:37 and 6:52. When I stomped on the gas it was definitely there!!! Next couple of days will be easy runs.

No run this morning......marathon tomorrow. I must have it on my brain because when I drove to Rexburg yesterday I noticed that I drove the tangents on the freeway whenever I could. Is that bad??? :-)

1 day.....

Race: Pocatello Marathon (26.2 Miles) 03:02:48, Place overall: 4, Place in age division: 1

It was a nice day for the race but I just could not seem to get in a groove today. Every time I pushed the pace my stomach would cramp a bit. I finished in 4th place overall and took home the Masters Overall award because Jeff did me a favor and won the race.

Bloggers did GREAT today taking the top 4 spots. Jeff was 1st, Kory was 2nd, Mark P from Utah was 3rd in a PR of 2:52 (way to go Mark!), and I was 4th.

Here are my splits. They are all over the place as my stomach made it hard to stay as steady as i needed.
