Today's run felt really good! I was nervous to see how my legs felt after Saturday's 22 miler. But they recovered quickly and today's 11 miles felt nice and easy! I think I'll do my tempo tomorrow. 11 miles at 7:25 pace.

I was not looking forward to this tempo... but I'm so glad it's done! And I'm glad that I was able to keep my pace for 9 miles. I was originally going to do 8 miles but once I hit 8 I thought, "What the heck, I can do 1 more mile!" My brother has a quote in his room that says, "CHAMPIONS ALWAYS DO A LITTLE MORE". That was my motto today. I warmed up 1 mile, 9 miles at 6:32 pace, then 2.1 mile cool down.

On an exciting side note, I recieved a call from the St. George Marathon informing me that I'm an elite athlete this year! YAHOO! I've never had my own water bottles before. Does anyone  have any advice or tips for this? I'm thinking about using Cytomax. Should I drink it at every aid station or switch between water and Cytomax? Geez, I haven't been training with this because I didn't think it would be an option. I'll definitely use it on my long run on Friday.

10.5 recovery miles in the rain. What more could a girl want? :) Besides my hair turning into a big rats nest, my run was uneventful. My left hamstring started to hurt a little bit towards the end.

7.3 miles this morning at 7:10 pace. I felt pretty good besides a tight hamstring afterwards. Long run tomorrow...then it's TAPER TIME! :) Well, not too much of a taper next week but it's nice to know that training is now slowing down.

Last long run today!!! SO glad to be done. Emily and I ran on the parkway starting at 5300 South and went north for 10 miles then turned around. When we started it was pouring rain! But it stopped after the first mile and the sun came out and it was super humid! Ugh! I didn't feel great on the way back. But we managed to average a 7:07 pace! Emily finished about 20 seconds ahead of me. She felt better than I did the last few miles. But overall, I am super happy with this run and with my training in general. I have high hopes for St. George!

Today's mileage came from pacing a friend in the Big Cottonwood Marathon. It was a beautiufl morning and it felt nice to encourage my friend thorough a marathon because running 26.2 miles is tough! I felt pretty good considering the 20 miles I ran yesterday. I ran 4 miles at 6:50 pace before meeting up with my friend to run the last 7 with him. I'm happy to break 70 miles this week!

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY!!!!!!
