AM   Ran the Greenbelt / Freeman Park loop + some

I felt good but am a little concerned  about STG Marathon because of the lack of miles over the last few mo from all the marathons that I have ran and have not had a good cycle in a while

Had a great race today and set a new PR and won my AG in the Utah Grand Slam 40-49.    More to come when I down load my GPS in the morning

Cold and windy at the start line and found one of the generator lights and at the back of it it was blowing hot air out and I stayed nice and warm for the most part.  I started out with the 3:15 pacer and was at a nice and easy pace for the first few miles and had to stop to use the bathroom at mile 3 but was able to catch up to them just befor the start of the big hill at mile 7 and I didn't find the hill to be all that hard as I was still running under 8 min pace going up but did find myself getting just a little winded at mile 11 and slowed just a bit more. At mile 14 the start of the down hills I just got into a nice feel good pace and went ahead of the pacer and never seen him again. On the down hills I was not sure how my legs were going to feel and all but I felt great and at the aid stations I was not slowing down as I just grabed a cup of water and some times made a real mess of myself at a few of them.  I was running with a few guys and had alot of fun with them as I would be in front of them for a mile or so and then another would be in front and this went on for alot of miles. I loved this race as you always had someone around you or passing someone that kept you motivated. Got to the bottom of the hill around miles 23 or so is when things started to get tough and not so much body wise as I still felt ok but mentally as I knew is I could keep it together I could make it under a 3:15. So I had to brake the last 3 miles down into segments and just play a game with it and couldn't believe after I pulled the report on the garmin that I was still running under goal pace even. Finished  at 3:13:06 and was so happy because for the last 1 1/2 years I have been trying to break a 3:15, this was the last marathon on the year for me and the last before I turn 50 in 4 weeks so this was so awesome to make it finally happend.  To top it off I even won the Utah Grand slam in my AG 40 to 49  What a great day and a great race
