Nice, easy recovery run. I needed it, as I overdid it this weekend, feeling really tired, but this run helped rejuvenate me. A few more weeks until the marathon.

Wakeboarding at Lake Mead all day - no running. A nice little "vacation" with the family.

Getting back into the swing of things. I am looking at this blog and feeling guilty about my poor effort over the last four days. I need to re-commit myself for a couple more hard weeks, then taper for the st george marathon.

Planning a long run saturday on the course.

Awesome run this morning with Steve, Logan, and Clyde. I love the challenge of trying to keep with those guys. I call them the "White Kenyans." We did about 14 miles, the air was cool, which was really nice. Started off slow for a few miles, then we really hammered it for a couple miles, backed off for a few miles, then did a little one mile time trial. The first half of the mile I felt I held a pretty good pace, but i am disappointed in how much i faded in the second half. I want another chance at that one.

I am getting pretty geeked up about this st george marathon in 3 and half weeks. Trying to go sub-3 will be a great challenge. I am getting myself mentally prepared for a 100percent effort.

Nice and easy, going to go hard this weekend. Oh, i have to be honest - I was feeling lazy, couldn't push the "go" button and just jogged for 8 miles.

Fantastic run today. I ran with the "White Kenyans" again on the marathon course. My times are always so much better when I am running with them. (I say "running with them" but perhaps I should say - "futilely chasing after them.")  

We did the first ten miles at an easy 7:30 pace, slowly accelerating, then hammered it for the last 13. I am really happy that I was able to keep a steady pace around 6:30 min/mile. I stayed +/- 15 seconds of 6:30 until mile 22, when I started an easy cool down for the last mile.

Great run, I ran with my race day flats and they were super. I almost wish today had been race day - I might have had a 3 hour marathon in me today.

Uggh. Still sore, so I chose to not run today. I will probably pedal on the stationary bike for awhile to help loosen things up.

The plan was to do mile repeats, but I was gassed after one. I have a cold, and I will blame it on the virus I caught from my daughter. I am glad to be getting this cold now, and NOT on race weekend.

Slept in to get over this cold. I will probably run tomorrow - a medium range cruise.

Woohoo. Feeling great again. Did my last "fast" run before the marathon - kept it a shade under 6:30 pace for 6 miles, then cooled down. Nice to be healthy again.

Wow. I could not fall asleep last night. It was terrible. I had a late call from someone with some very disappointing news and was frustrated/angry/worried whatever.

At 3:30 I finally gave up and went for a run. Out on the southern parkway - nice and lonely. I felt like I could go long, but the race is a week ago, so I turned around and showered and was able to get a little sleep.

I was thinking about those bumper stickers you see everywhere - "26.2  = cheap therapy.'
