On the road to BOSTON!

An easy walk/jog to shake the legs out.

I dropped my car off at the Ledges and ran home. 7:30 pace for 12.25 miles. I then jumped on my bike and rode 8.50 miles to Sunset Blvd and died. I was attempting to make it back to the Ledges but the wind was in my face and I was spent. counted 3.50 miles from the uphill climb.

I took an easy run without my Garman. Ran my Tonaquint-Dixie Center run. The wind was whipping pretty good for the last half of the run....kind of like 2 steps forward one step back.

I decided to get in a longer run this morning since the weather is supposed to be bad Saturday. I wasn't really prepared for a long run mentally but it went well anyway. I started at the top of Snow Canyon at the parking lot and ran down the course to town square. I stopped at the Art's Festival to see my uncle who has a booth. We chatted for a bit and then on to home. 7:01 average pace.

7:00/6:52/7:39/7:03/6:45/6:45/6:49/6:50/6:59/6:50/7:10/7:29/7:19/7:14

I just noticed that I carried a very consistent pace for a good part of the run. This is a first for me! I definatley slowed down at the last bit of the run but I wasn't wanting to push anything too hard. One week to marathon, now I can take it real easy!!!!!

I am hoping to run at 8:00 pace for the marathon and I think I can do it.....praying for good weather and light, fast feet.....Bill can I borrow you legs for next saturday? LOL
