On the road to BOSTON!

Dixie enter run. 5.40 miles 7:18 average pace

7:37/ 7:15/ 7:24/ 7:23/ 6:56/ 7:09

I didn't really set out to run very fast today. Went out @ 2:00 and it was beautiful! Ran with music for the first time in over a year...was kind of nice. Maybe that is why I ran faster. Listened to Kansas on the way out and Earth, Wind and Fire on the way back.

Went out 2 miles towards the Dixie Center and back. Not enough time to so much more.

7:30/ 7:14/ 7:30/ 7:10  7:22 pace

Still trying to decide whether to run Mesquite Marathon or not.......

Dixie Center run: Warmed up easy then pushed for a good mile plus then backed off to Marathon pace to the end. At the 2 mile mark after climbing a small hill, I looked down and my garmin said 4:59. I had concentrated so hard on getting up the hill that when I moce over the crest I was pumping much harder than I thought.....it felt good!

8:16/ 7:23/ 7:05/ 8:01/ 7:54   7:43 pace

Looks like Mesquite is a go for me. I plan on having an enjoyable run and not a hard race. Shoot for somewhere around 3:45.

I ran the Mesquite Marathon this morning, a last minute decision. I went down to just have a fun run with no pressure. I got close to Mesquite and realized that I had left my garmin at home....Ticked off!

Overall: Tough course, especially the last 12 miles.

I had a giant PR by 10 1/2 minutes over St. George! 3:28:26 and placed 2nd in my age group, there were at least 22 in the group that had signed up maybe more.

I have no splits just a great PR and BQ.
