This morning Barry and I ran at the start of the Pocatello marathon course on the backside down Pocatello Creek Rd. The same route as the last two Saturday's, but just a little different route the last couple miles. Barry did good the last few miles and didn't struggle as much with the pace. I'm trying to train him to run the last few miles strong so he'll be ready for the SLC and Ogden Half Marathon's. He's really going to excel in these half marathon's. He's got the mileage and getting the endurance to be confident and do well.
I ran just a half mile further than he did. I ran the last 4 minutes at a 5:30 pace. Totals13.2 miles at an overall 7:02 pace in 1:32. I ran 71 miles this week and really not even training. Just running to stay fit and to enjoy. Racing has not really entered my mind.
