Basically the same run as Tuesday with an add on to the Highland City building. went early - nobody else out running... keep telling myself two and a bit weeks to Boston, feeling reasonably confident.

Decided to bandit the race along with Chris who is going out to Boston with me. he ran with me for 3 miles then took off like a hare to do a tempo 10k then waited for me later in the race. it was really windy going west on the first part of the course so managed mainly 7:40's, felt like I was pushing into the wind and it was pushing right back at me. I felt very strong at the turnaround. Bill, another friend who was pacing me, helped push me along with some 6:40's with the wind at our backs and we caught a lot of slower runners. I asked several of them as i passed them how old they were --- a 41 and 44 tear old at mile 11. The 41 year old came in a couple of minutes behind me - his first half, he was really excited. i love to see runners get excited about PR's and firsts.... I don't know where I would have come had I officially reistered so please feel free to tell me where a 1:39:08 for a 46 year old would have got me ???

It was great to see Jo Marshall at the Nuskin building. She always is where I need her to be at St. George cheering me on. Larry, you and Jo are great friends, I love you guys so much.

2 weeks and 2 days till Boston. 38 this week and 50.2 last week, time to taper down to 25-28 this week and rest my legs a little bit.

I woke up too early - 4:30 am  and lay around for an hour before fianlly deciding to go out and run. It was cold and damp, probably due to the snow from yesterday. Took the usual route from my house up to the Cedar Hill's Fire Station - 1.75 miles all uphill gentle.. must be doing me some good it is getting easier every week. Then down the hill West and across to the discovery park below Lone Peak HS, into Highland. back along the golf course and up that nasty hill west of the Timp temple. I tried really picking my knees up today and bounding up the hill. My hip flexors are getting better the more that I do that hill. Back home I made up my protein shake and had a shower . The three kiddos are still asleep.. bliss...

Very peaceful sleep... set off at 6:30 ran up to the Cedar Hills Fire Station down past the Charleston, east to the nursery, then down to the temple and back behind it then along Manila Church House Road and back home. I was starving when I left so ate a huge breakfast when i returned

Nice easy 8.25 with the group in Alpine.. them home for a shower...

Then went to the BYU track meet and ran the 400M, 800M, 4X 400 relay and did the long jump. Did ok for an old guy - our team in the relay beat the girls team, we couldn't compete with the BYU guys in the events but did ok for our age - 1:09 ..400m for a 46 yo isn't too shabby, neither was 11 feet 4 ins in the long jump. I had a blast.... last time I did one of these was 18 years ago. Now can I recover for Boston ??
