Everything feels ready for Saturday.  Today for some reason I had a light gut ache the first couple miles and I was thinking I sure hope I don't have this Saturday, luckily it went away and then I had that good feeling like you can jog forever.

Nice run at MP.  Hopefully, Saturday I'll be able to do 26.2 miles of them.

10 years ago in the good'ol days I ran a 3:01 at Odgen.  We'll see how Saturday turns out.

If you like rain and cold this was a great marathon. The short version of the race is my left quad cramped up at mile 17.75. I nursed it with some walking breaks for a couple of miles then it let me jog easy the rest of the way.

I had a plan to run 6:40's for the first 8 miles then shift to 7:10s around the lake except for the hill and then go back to 6:40's the rest of the way to get me to a 2:59. I kind of stuck to the plan except for at mile 8 a faster group passed by me and I stuck with them for a mile or so before I decided to back off and go back to the original plan. I also took a couple of the first 8 miles just a little to fast but not fast enough to cause a dang cramp at mile 17.

  I didn't warm up much, it just didn't seem appealing with the rain. I did stretch and walk and felt ready to go. It rained almost the entire race. There were a few times that it stopped and my shirt was attempting to get dry then the rain would come back.

  I guess I can always hope for another sub 3 but my old body just wont seem to let me.  I did get 6th out of the 150 in my AD.
