Inspired by my fellow St. George Running Club members that battled the Boston Marathon today, I went ahead a registered for the Ogden Marathon. I'm not sure what kind of shape I'm in, but I think I will be able to handle the marathon and run a respectable time, as long as my training continues to improve. I went out tonight and ran from the house to Hurricane Intermediate School out on 180 West, then came back on a different street. Overall time was 53:49 for 8 miles so it worked out to 6:43 average pace. I felt good and kept throwing in little surges when I felt like I was slowing down. (Nimbus 148.5)

Another good day of running, this afternoon I had my wife drive me up to the start of the Hurricane Half Marathon. My goal was to get in 10 to 11 solid miles. I began at 4:30 so it was still rather warm and really windy this afternoon. I had to fight a headwind almost the entire run. Anyway, I started out feeling pretty good and figured if I could keep the miles between 7:00 and 7:30 pace that would be fine. Mile 1- 6:58 felt easy, a little pain in my ankle, 2-6:44 relaxed, 3-6:48 another good mile, 4-7:05 slight uphill, 5-7:11 more gradual uphill and fighting the wind, 6-7:27 overall the 7 minute guy has caught back up to me and is ready to race, 7-7:36 another hard mile uphill and getting a little tired, I'm looking forward to a quick and much needed water stop on this mile, 8-6:42 beginning of the downhill time to put some distance on the 7 minute guy, 9-5:57 I opened it up some on this mile which is a steep downhill, 10-6:20 turn onto La Verkin's Main Street and decide to continue pushing the pace a little, 11-6:36 finish with a decent mile. Overall time 1:15:31 average 6:52. Once I got into my neighborhood I slowed things down and did an easy mile cool down to make it 12 for the afternoon. This was a good run, I didn't feel wiped out, infact I felt pretty good during the run and afterwards. I just need to do more runs around this distance and pace.(DS Trainer 208)

Got home from camping with the scouts, and then went to Vegas to meet up with my parents and  sister.  I didn't get a run in today and haven't really been feeling that good the last few days.  Hopefully things will pick back up next week.  I'm going to try to make it over to the track Tuesday morning for some speed.
