Water tank hills with Kent and Jeff. I pushed the hills pretty hard but and was just a little slower than last week, 15:52. I'll blame it on the headwind and running with a headlamp in the dark. The last fast half mile was at 6:12/mi pace. My fitness is down from 3 years ago, but it's at a high point this year. I feel pretty strong and confident as I approach the St. George marathon in 2.5 weeks.

My fitness is down from 3 months ago, but regardless it will be fun to run the SGM and see some running friends. Larry helped me into the race the last time I ran the SGM. It was great, I was able to pass Tom with just about a mile left.

You would have to mention that Terry you meanie. I still have my eye on that 50-miler when we're 50 and I'm gonna take you down.

Hope to see you all in St. George in a couple of weeks. It should be fun. I've decided that I'm just going to run this one with my wife and enjoy the people and scenery.
