Working in St. George, so did a 2.5 mile run out from the finish line of the St. George Marathon and up Diagonal Street then turned around and ran back to the marathon finish line. I did this run to verify that St. George is indeed all downhill to the finish, because it has never felt that way during a race. It does in fact drop over 100 feet these last miles. My legs still feel slightly sore from the race on Saturday, but I hope to be 100% tomorrow. Also, I found out that the hotel I am staying at this week, Hilton Garden Inn, still has vacancies for marathon weekend! I was planning on sleeping in my van (yes-down by the river), but opted for the hotel.
