Total Distance

15.50

3.5 morning run

12 mile big loop run @ 6:30. It was pretty hot out at least 95 but I needed to get out. I just paced myself and it really wasn't that bad. Around mile 7 I almost stepped on a big grey snake. The sucker came out of nowhere. It scared a few bright words out of me.

The last few miles of the run I seemed to be a little crampy but still finished in a regular time.

Dropped a few pounds...Saturday afternoon after hiking I was 162, still packing a lot of trashy weight from eating on the trip. Tonight after the run I was 152.5 before I started drinking.

Great people and great athletes realize early in their lives their destiny, and accept it. Even if they do not consciously realize the how, the where, the what.

Thanks bill

I'm just running the 10k on Friday.

How accurate is your measurement of the pace? If it is, it is a very good sign you can go out and run 6:30 in 95 degrees on a regular run for 12 miles. I think this means you are ready for at least 2:50 in St. George, if not faster.

6:30 p.m. was the time of day. I wasn't even keeping track of the pace. The trail I ran last night isn't one you keep a pace chart on. Very rocky, lots of hills, up and down, a mile and a half at least of sand running...very difficult, but fun course, other than the snakes!

However I feel very confident that I can run a sub 2:50 at St. George as long as I stay injury free and continue my training. My goal is 2:45 or lower this year.
