On the road to BOSTON!

All I can say is WOW! I went into town with my wife and ran home the short way. Down Past Dixie High and over Hilton Drive to Tonaquint over the hill to home. My warm up mile was 7:33, too fast but the legs felt light today- mile 2 6:49 and feeling good so I decided to keep this up as long as I could. Of course there were a few breaks for traffic lights along the way. mile 3 6:44 Mile 4 6:44, this was Tonaquint Drive and the hill. Mile 5 6:35 heading into Bloomington and some down grade and the final 3/4 mile @ 6:36  Average pace including the warmup mile was 6:52

It must have been all the spinach I ate yesterday. We had loads of a chicken and spinach salad leftover from a party so I ate tons of it yesterday and it actually had me kind of sick. It could also be that I ate a lot of everything yesterday, I kind of fell off my diet for the day....maybe a good thing!

14 days to Boston.... getting fired up!

7 miles from Downtown St. George to River Road to the trails to Bloomington-

7:22 average with mile 2-6:56 and mile 3 @ 6:33 then backed off to the 7:20sh pace to home-

Ran out he door 5 minutes after eating oatmeal.Mistake, ran Bloomington Drive and around 2 1/2 miles the gut started to churn.....oh well the run is done and I can now get to work. 7:44 average

Ran the first loop of the IronMan course. I took off about 20 minutes ahead of Wildbull and BigFoot and didn't want them to catch me. It was raining and coming back on the course a good headwind, lots of traffic making it tough to run on the edge of the road so I was in the dirt and mud a lot. (34 degrees for the run)

Loved the run!

9:06/ 8:35/ 8:59/ 8:13/ 7:18/ 7:26/ 8:22/ 8:01/ 8:16/ 7:34/ 7:23/ 7:03/ 7:00  Average pace for the run 7:59

This is the first time running that course. It is a tough one. Very encouraging for me to have this run without trying to race it and have a good average pace. The body feels great and as ready as I will ever be for a marathon!

Now up to the frozen tundra and snow in Salt Lake
