After 2 days of rest, it was nice to get out at lunchtime and run. My right foot had been bothering a little on Sunday and Monday, so I decided not to chance it and gave it some rest. Wore a different pair of shoes today, and did about 7:00-7:20's for the whole thing. (The new Garmin hasn't arrived, yet..so I'm guessing) 75F, Cloudy, 80% humidity (today was the 5th straight day that we've had rain. We really needed it) AP:720 I was just taking a walk down memory lane by reading my race report from SGM 2007 (my 4th marathon..and my 1st BQ. I hope it's not my fastest SGM!) Just for the fun of it, I took my pace for SGM 2007 and scaled it from 3:20:02 to 3:15:00, to see how it compared to Cougar's pace chart. Looks like miles 6 and 7 were a little too fast.. You can see the "fade" at the finish.Mark, Jeff, Mike -- I'd be willing to give Cougar's pace chart a shot, but you might lose me near the finish.. Perhaps, if I take miles 6,7,8, and 9 a little easier, I might have some gas in the tank!

| Ran w/ Darin (and some with Eric...Eric dropped back due to all the
weight training he had done before we started). It was drizzly and 67F
when we started (nice..could have been a few degrees cooler, but I'm
not complaining.:) 7:31, 7:36, 7:38, 7:30, 6:30 (The last mile
was approximate because Darin had the only watch...I told him I was
going to turn it up a notch on the last mile, and wave my hand when I
hit the start/finish point...he came in 45 seconds behind me with a
7:15. I'll take it...felt great! Feet feel fine...wife is coming
down with a cold or something...I'm quarantining myself until I leave
for St George! (Can't afford to get sick now ) AP: 7:20

| Went to the track at lunch with Darin and Eric. We were planning to run 8 x 800m, but the HS football team came out and got on the track..and we only got in 4. Was trying to keep them under 3:15, but because we only did 4, I sped up on the last one. Had 400m recovery jog between. 2:57, 3:02, 3:05, 2:50 80F, 64% humidity, mostly cloudy (felt steamy)
First run wiht new Speedstars. They felt great right out of the box.
