This morning Barry and I decided to start at Century High School and run the Pocatello Marathon course the opposite direction. Barry was only running 6 miles for his taper. He would run three miles the opposite direction and three miles and turn around and run three miles on the marathon course. I orignially was going to do 13 miles, six the opposite direction and six miles turning around. But I decided to run all the way to the Pocatello Half start and then turn aroound. When I turned around I had a nasty headwind. Overall I ran 19.5 miles at an overall 7:06 pace in 2:17. Good training on rolling hills portion of the course and mentally tough to know you have to turn around and run the opposite direction from what you came from. Great to get my second longest run in since St. George.
Foot no pain at all. It's seems to be healed, but will see.
