I ran out to my 5 mile mark down in the river bottoms via canal road and luckly my brother Curtis put out his cooler at GU corner or I would have died! It was the Spanish Fork Half today so the club didn't put out a cooler, but my brother came through! My legs are still pretty hammered from the race on Monday so the pace was pretty slow but my knee seemed to hold up pretty good so that was good and I think this was my last long run before SG. I'm not going to taper to much maybe 10 days before I'll cut back some but where I've been injured and missed some training I think I need the mileage, but I will cut back the long runs... I finished off the run by running up over Harry's Hill and then down to the Stake Center and then when I got home I went out to the old barn to get the 18.40 miles, average pace was 9:00 and my total time was 2:45:47, HR average was at 140, so very slow and I couldn't have gone a step further. The last few weeks I have had more left in the tank but not today, oh well.... See ya Monday.
