I started off running over Tonaquint then down through Southgate to the DC. I then decided to run part of the Painter's half marathon course. I ran about the first 6 1/2 miles of the course heading over to River Road and then on the bike path over through Bloomington hills. When I got to the switchback down to cross the river I stayed up and ran over past Flying J and then back ome through Bloomington on Brigham drive to Sugar Leo.

I am having a hard time with my stamina on these longer runs. The last few miles my legs feel heavy. I suppose I just need to keep at it. I am down to 148 after this run. That is 30 pounds of lose so far. Maybe I can loose some weight off of my heavy legs....LOL

I decided to run the Snow Canyon 1/2 marathon course today. I ended up running most of the course till you turn in to Entrada. I bailed at that point and continued down Snow Canyon Parkway to Dixie Drive and ran to just short of Sunset to get in the 13.1 miles. I was shooting for 1:45 and ended up with 1:47. Overall I felt pretty good about the run, just need to work on consistency. I would like to run it in 1:40 for the race in 3 weeks. For most of you that is slow but would be a major accomplishment for this 49 year old beginner!

Here are the splits: (8:13 average)
