Nice easy marathon pace run on the path to River Road crossed over and ran the loop to the Dixie Center then looped again, At mile 12 I turned back up the steep hill by the river and ran it again then on to home. After that warmup 1 1/2 miles I kept the pace very consistent with the last 3 miles trying to finish a little faster. Exactly 8:00 pace for the including the warmup miles.

PM ran from Chuckawalla parking lot up the course past the Ledges in 20 mph or higher head winds on the bike path- brutal- 8:25 pace going up and 7:10 pace coming down

Easy run to DC and back- resting the body today- I was surprised that I wasn't totally trashed after the 25 miles yesterday! I didn't want to run very far but the legs did feel pretty good

8:12 pace

Started at home and ran out on the trail then jumped on to Riverside Drive and ran to the Maverick. Went on the bike path up to the mall then back in to town and up to the Red Cliffs parkway- ran the back portion of the Ironman course and went to the finish line- Talked with Steve, Clyde and Tom for a few minutes then on to home-

Overall a good run in 37 degree temps and very windy. The wind shifted as it was in my face most of the morning- The first 9 miles were just grind it out slow miles with a lot of climbing, wind and darkness. This is where I say Steve and Clyde and picked up the intensity and pushed the next 6 1/2 miles, not wanting them to catch me.....they didn't.

The going home the last 5 miles I just grinded it out trying to keep close to 8:00 pace-

Average pace for the run was 8:23- this would have put me at 3:39 for a marathon distance- not bad considering the wind and all the hills and not pushing it much at all-

Confidence is growing for Boston- 3 more weeks!
