Core workout.

8 miles on the treadmill.  Miles 3-6 were at marathon pace--which is just over 4 hours (9:13mm) right now.

 Missed yesterday.  Was supposed to do upper body and a short recovery run.  Felt like crap in the morning.  Ended up playing some basketball with kids in the evening.  I was trying to just stand there a lot, but nobody on my team could score so I had to start asserting myself.  I was wearing street clothes and my shoes are terrible so I ended up with some toe and arch blisters.

St. George.  Ran 5 miles with Stacie.  It was nice to run with her again.  It was also nice to run outside.

Ran 14 miles in St. George.  It was a little cold until the sun came out, but not too bad.  After the sunrise, it was nice.  My shins were a little stiff for the first 2-3 miles, but once I warmed up it wasn't too bad.  The last couple of miles were difficult, but I focused on turnover rate and was able to push through the difficulty in spurts, but it was hard to maintain focus.  Running well takes such mental strength.
