This morning I got up at 5am and Barry met me at my house at 5:30am. We drove up to the start of the Pocatello Marathon Course and ran the backside down Pocatello Creek Rd, then we headed up Olympus Rd. then down Bench Rd. Then turned on Hawthorne Rd., then turned on Cedar st. then back down Mckinley Ave to my house. Barry ran 15 miles and I added an extra mile. I ran 16.31 miles at an overall 7:15 pace in 1:58. I'll only count 4 miles as MP miles. The temperature was only 8 degrees. Barry did well and did not struggle at all today. He's starting to get the endurance he needs to make some strong finishes in races. He's going to excel in the SLC and Ogden half marathon's. Me I'm just training him and content with not racing. I do need to retire my Sacuony Tangent 3 shoes now because they have 570 miles on them. They have been great shoes. I could have ran forever today. I felt great and ended the run with (6:53: 6:49) pace and that was very easy. Did this with only 4 hours of sleep with our son keeping us up with a cough and leg cramps last night. Evening: I did .3 sprints again. Then I ran up to the start of the Pocatello Marathon course running on the route to find my glove I lost that I didn't find. I had my garmin on and I ran .6 of a mile.
