Ran over to the Dixie Center then decided to extend out to River Road. Once I got there I was feeling good so I extended down River Road past Deseret Hills High to home. This allowed me to run some hills while I was somewhat fatigued. The run wasn't fast but it was very consistent and I tackled all the hills from River Road to home without taking any of my usual walking breaks.  8:22 pace in the rain!

Nice easy steady non stop run out to river road on the trail, looped the river to home- 8:18 pace and could have kept it going much longer. I was hitting my threshold on nutrition and would need a gu etc. at this point to keep the pace even. Hamstring is feeling better today but didn't ever push the pace at all, just wanted to get even easy miles on it.

After the half marathon tomorrow morning I will be above my high mileage mark for over two years or more. Body is feeling great and my confidence is growing for Boston-

Went in to this race just wanting to have a nice training run. I didn't ant to agravate my hammy so the goal was 1:40. Went out under control and the legs were feeling spring. I went out steady 6:45sh pace and decided to hold that pace or close to as long as I could......I have never felt this strong for a race, especially since I had no expectations. I feel like a runner today!

Took 2nd in my age group but more important I feel great and this is at the tail end of the biggest mileage week for me in over 2+ years. I feel fresh and could go out for another run right now easily!

Life is great! Bring on Boston
