About 1:00pm I ran from work up to the fountain at Timpanogos Park. I didn't have my Garmin so I don't know how far or fast I went. It felt slow. The temperature was in the mid-70's I think. I probably should have done more heat training for St. George. If race day is warm, I guess I'll just have to run faster to get done sooner before it gets too hot.

5.1 miles @ 9:39/mi. Murdock/Lindon loop with Kevin.

We stopped and talked with Rich Lamoreaux, Bryan Johnson, Steve Earl, Jilleen Mecham, and company. It was nice reminiscing about past races and talking about running St. George next weekend.

8 miles @ 10:09/mi. Provo Canyon trail with Wayne, Larry & Jolene.

We went up at a very easy pace. Larry & Jo turned back at mile 3.

On our way back down Wayne and I picked up to around marathon pace then pushed the last stretch from the Timpanogos Park fountain. (8:39, 8:34, 8:34, 0.88 @ 7:13/mi).

There was a younger woman who passed us near the fountain. We passed her back, then she passed me back, then I passed her again as I picked up to catch Wayne near the end. In the parking lot she said, "You guys are fast!" I haven't heard that for a long time, and it's all relative, but I have to admit it felt good to hear it. I don't know if I'd say we're fast, but I think we're both feeling pretty good going into the marathon next weekend.
