Started out doing decent, felt strong and notmany major issues.  With 20 miles under my belt i was looking at pushing a 2:41, but I started camping in my left calf at 21 and had to slow down a bit.  I was still able to stay sub 6:30s though and ended up 2:43:47.  Not a bad day, but a little frustrating when I felt like I could race the last 5 and couldn't really do that.  Overall a good showing, especially on under 900 miles for the whole year so far.  6th in the age and 40th overall.  Fun weekend.

Looped on the parkway trail to 14600 S and back on 1300 W in Riverton.  First run back after St. George and a week off.  My legs felt tight and my right quad, left calf, and hamstrings were very tight.   Felt like I was running on Monday, not Saturday after the marathon.  7:05 ave for the loop in Riverton with my boys.

AM - Ran a 10 x 400 with Jaren, or behind Jaren on the 30A.  Weather was much better than Saturday for running.  I did get faster as I went.  1:25 to 1:21s.  Legs are still not recovered from St. George or the football on the beach the last two days.  Right quad and groin having some issues, it is hard to lift my leg up when sitting.   7:17 ave

Back in Alabama, we took Jaren to do hills on a Hill that we called the Alabama Mistress.  I did all 6 .25 mile repeats, a ways behind him.  Damon did half of them because he was going swimming and tp play Tennis.  Tough hill!  8:22 ave

Leg still hurting and weak.
