Total Distance
6.20

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.

Hope the feet start feeling better. Good job on the run today.

Thanks Dustin! The feet aren't too bad. The main problem is after getting into a hard race, marathon, and from about mile 16 on they can flair up. On any of my long runs I have never had a problem just in races that I have been pushing and the pounding finally catches up. I am confident I am going to make it through St. george I just want to make sure of it with the injections. This race I believe I will run through any pain as long as it it 3 miles or under to finish.
