I took the day off and got up early to do my last long run. Legs have been tired since the 24 miler on Saturday. It took me a while to get going as my first mile was almost 9 minutes. I settled into a pace for the rest of the run. I did the same run up Butterfield Canyon as I did Memorial Day and Labor Day with Greg. I 7:55 pace almost at the turn around. Took my fluid belt with me this time instead of planting drinks. The way back I just cruised, not much push in the legs, and that is fine. I had two miles over 7 Minutes in the last 10 miles with 6:14 being my last and fastest mile. Harder running tired and by myself, but glad to be done with it. I am feeling stronger, but not fast, so we'll see how this St. George pans out. I think I will do OK. 2:25:21 for the run, 7:16 pace. I am off to Bear River where we are running our JV in the Relay. Then off to Boise to Bob Firman with my top 6 boys and top 2 girls.
