Usually I don't run on Sunday, but Monday I wanted to take the wife and the kids on our ATV's  so before church I ran 10.28 miles at a 6:44 overall pace.  The first 4 miles I ran with the dog then

I did some tempo miles and marathon pace miles.  I really wasn't trying to go for to much intensity today (6;25, 5:57, 5:59, 6:06, 6:03, and 6:15). Very hot for 8am in the morning.

Today was one of those days where I didn't have a planned idea what I was going to run. I didn't really want to run too slow so I ran 7 MP miles one threshold mile.

Total 9.3 miles at a 6:36 pace overall.

Since this is a taper week I probably will run around 50 miles. Thursday I'm thinking about either doing 4 x 1600 mile repeats or 8 x 400's with a 200 jog. What do you guys think?

My focus has been more on my grandma in the hospital right now than on the running. I've seen her every day, and she's starting her physical therapy treatments today. I really hope with her age she can rebound. But I will stay focused and be okay.

Starting last night I started getting a sore throat by morning it move in the state of a terrible sore throat. I ran 8miles I think at a 7:16 . The first 4 miles I ran with the dog which will always be slower, but this was an easy run for the taper week. I hope my sore throat comes with nothing else.

Update:

I've started to caught some type of bug.  Along with a sore throat I've now developed a stuffy nose.  This is not good 9 days before a marathon.  I haven't registered yet.

Well this morning I woke up with I believe a cold.  I was little warm, had a sore throat, and a nice full stuffy nose. Going to the track was out of the question because my body also felt weak.  What a time to develop a cold almost a week before the marathon.    I did run though and I probably could have gone to the track.  Even though my head felt like it wasn't even in the run but asleep, my body seemed to know what to do.  

I ran the first three warmup miles with the dog  7:31,7:15,:7:07.  Then dropped the dog off back home,and right in the middle of the fourth mile I thought I would do 3 mp miles. First mile (since I started so late in this mile)  was 6:36.  Then I decided to pick it up a bit 6:08.  Well might as well pick it up some more 5:50.  Then in the middle of the last cool-down mile I changed my mind and wanted to finish with a MP mile 6:29.   I did 7 miles overall, and I still feel hot, tired and weak, but I will get some rest tonight and see how I feel tomorrow.

Last night I had a 101 fever and stuffy nose and cough.  I've been taking everything possible to get better before next week.  I woke up this morning not feeling great, but I went out and ran 5 miles anyway.  I ran sort of a 4 mile ladder run and then a cool-down mile.   (6:36,6:28,6:04, and 6:01).  Hopefully I can get over this sickness.  Tomorrow depending on how I feel I was going to do a 12 mile run  and more of a downhill course.

Ran my final long run before next weeks marathon.  13.02 in 6:29 in 1:24.  The first few miles were down  hill, and I ran a little faster than I was planning on, but that's okay, good confidence builder. I ran a 5 mile tempo in the middle of the long run (6:01, 5:58, 6:11, 6:07, and 6:10).  I also did a 500ft hill that was over a 1 mile in this run.. I was trying to get a combination of down  and up hill.  The run felt good with little effort.  Now it's time to reserve a Hotel in Rexburg.

Thanks Ted for your previous comments.  I feel ready.
