Did .5 warm-up then 2 mile tempo run on the track first mile 6:22, second mile 6:30, started feeling dehydrated and a little sick, so I just jogged .5 miles then came home. I was going to do a few more miles tonight, but instead I'm just going to go to bed a little earlier and get some more rest.

Did 1 mile warm-up, then a 5 mile tempo run faster than marathon race pace. I started my run at mile marker 6 out at Anderson Junction then worked my way down into Toquerville and to the 1 mile marker just outside of La Verkin. Overall, I felt pretty good on the run, it was still really hot out, I was running at 4 pm so that may have effected my pace a little.

3-6:14

4-6:36 -was hurting on this mile

5-5:56

After I finished the tempo part I did an easy 2.5 mile cool-down and then went and cooled off for about 20 minutes in the Virgin River down in the Confluence Park area, found a nice stretch that was deep enough to swim in.

I was also excited when I got home I weighed in at 142 which is a record low, last October I was 165 right before my ankle surgery.

Easy 4 miles around the Snow Canyon Cross Country course, will run some more tonight with the running club. Ran 8 tonight with the club down past the Dixie Center then up into Bloomington and back down to the river trail and back on River Road to the park. Felt pretty good on the run, stomach bothering me a little from eating dinner to close to my workout.

Easy 1 mile run around the cross country meet in Cedar, most of the kids had big improvements from earlier in the season. At the meet talked a little with Dave Holt, he might come and run with us tomorrow and I also met and talked to Josh McAdams, NCAA steeplechase champion last year from BYU, his wife is a coach for Timpview. It was interesting to talk to him, he has ran on teams with Bryan Lindsey and Nate Robinson, two guys I ran with for a season at BYU, anyway it was nice to meet him. When I got home tonight I did another easy 4 miles over to Hurricane Middle School and back, nice temperature outside, but it is getting dark a lot earlier in the evening.

Bring on the marathon! Really good run this morning with the club. We started at the beginning of the course and ran 12.5 miles almost to the halfway mark. It was nice to get a feel for the first part of the course and think a little about pace and a game plan for the first half of the marathon next Saturday, last week it was nice to run the 10.5 from Snow Canyon to the finish, having done both runs now, I feel pretty confident and excited more than anything for race day. Here are the splits, which were actually faster today on training run, than when I ran the marathon in 2004.

1-6:02- little short the first mile

2-7:05

3-6:45

4-6:13 Clyde out front, Bill running pace with me, Steve back a little bit stopped to remove long sleeve shirt.

5-6:32

6-6:18 everyone back together, Steve's knee hurting him a little bit, slowed down some.

7-6:18-pace is feeling pretty good. Bill stops in Veyo to use the restroom.

8-7:09 Clyde and I make our way up Veyo Hill, the hill isn't too bad and we continue visiting pretty much the whole way up the hill.

9-7:05 still running up the hill, but feeling a little tired.

10-6:52

11-6:55

12-6:31

13-6:14- 1:26:07 Good run and feeling ready for a big time PR.
