Got a late start but it so nice out still at 8am. Went out over Tonaquint Loop. Tried for a very controlled steady pace. Went out 8:22 warm up, slight uphills. Next 8:26 larger climb up Tonaquint then tapers down the hill. 3rd mile 7:54, just a steady easy fall down hill. 4th 7:35, trying to put on a little speed past St. George Ford and then over the bridge. 5th 8:11 easing off just wanting to keep the legs going. 6th 7:54, just remaining in a steady mode. last .20 7:03, down my street pushing towards the finish...not trying to bust it wide open just wanted to finish strong. Overall pace 8:02. This run felt very good and the legs feel fresh. My main concern for the marathon is still the feet. I am going in Tuesday to have cortizone shoots in my feet to help with the Neuromas. I hope that is the magic solution.
