It felt good to get this morning and run. I needed to get the BAD run on friday out of my memory. I ran an easy 6 miles out to the dixie center and back. I just let my legs run a comfortable pace on this run. I feel that I could easily have moved my pace down :30 or so and still felt good. That is right where I want it to be. I need to get an 8:03 for my BQ of 3:30:59. The body continues to feel stronger.

I noticed that on my run on friday that I had some Nikken mag step insoles in my shoes. They are heavy! This is what really complicated things plus the heat of the day (95). I also checked my shoes to make sure that everything is good with them before the race. I have been having problems with the balls of me feet hurting the past week or so. I have been using a very light weight insloe and it was totally crushed from the summer worth of training. Ran with new ones this morning....much, much better.

Will be resting until Wednesday.....

Good luck this weekend. You have put in the training and you just need to trust it. Go get that BQ!
