Things did not work out like Id hoped. Pretty down and shocked and feeling defeated. This was the best training cycle for a marathon in years. I felt like a 3:45 or sub 3:50 were in the bag! I'm not sure where I went wrong in my training. Maybe not enough uphill training? Veyo and damerron valley jusy wrecked me and I was toast after that. Maybe a Boston Q is out of reach at this point. Its painful to admit that...

Oh well.

Taking some time off.

Just a little shake out. Heading down to the St. George Marathon. I hope all the training pays off. My average today was 8:23 with a total time of 18:01. 1 MP mile at 8:09.

See you Saturday.

Mobbin on canal road. Taking it easy but then I pushed the lasy mile or so to MP. That mile was 7:57. Upper body weights and some pushups to finish up.

See you tomorrow.
