I ran part of the St. George 1/2 this morning.  They changed the course again.  It was a tough uphill course with some head winds.  It was raining lightly most of the way.  I ended up at 7:46 pace overall which I felt pretty good about for the course.  I got there just in time to see Jeff take off on the 5k course, but couldn't get his attention.  I also watched Butch finish, but couldn't find him at the start.

Dace and I ran from my house around the Washington Fields 10 mile loop, and then around the Virgin River loop.  We needed to cut some distance so we thought we'd go through St. James which made it longer. Who knew?  We ended up walking for the last .85 miles because we were already at 14 miles.

The calves were pretty fatigued at the end, but overall I felt good.  Longest run I believe since Utah Valley Marathon.  We were at 8:08 pace overall.

Ran with Dace clear out to Snow Canyon Pkwy.  We were only going to run 16, but we went out to far so we decided to run 17.  That way we only had to walk a half of a mile back to the car.  It was a really hillly course so we took it slow.

Dace and I met at my house for our long run.  We ran by the temple up diagnol then bluff to Snow canyon pkwy.  We caught the trail down to dixie dr. then to tonaquint and around the bloomington loop.  Back to the man o war trail and up over bloomington hills.  Back to river rd. on trail then back home.  We were able to walk the last half mile which was good.

Did the 10 mile figure 8 plus I started at my house, and a short out and back.  I thought about running the Spectrum 10k because Butch had given me his entry, but I was afraid of injury at the 6:30 pace or so.  I decided to go out for this solo run instead.

Dace and I met at the bank in matching Boston Qualifier shirts.  We made fun of ourselves when we would pass people (Sadie's comments and such).  It was a good run, and we finished strong.  We did our downtown to Snow Canyon Pkwy. to Dixie Drive and back loop.  The legs felt great for the most part.

Great job Chad. So you going to bean town??

Thanks! No, unfortunately the way that Boston did registering this year I barely didn't make it in because they took the fastest of the qualifiers. Dace is though.

Ran the loop this morning down at the trail.  Dace missed his alarm so he didn't make it.

Ran the first 10 with Dace then he had to get to the track meet.  I ran an out and back on the trail they had to repair due to the flood last year.  It was all fixed and open.  Good to have that section back.

Did Man O War out and back with a 4 mile tempo in the middle.  Hit those miles at 7:10, 7:06, and 7:08 on the last 2.  I felt good for the most part.

Dace and I did an easy 6 this morning.  I played kickball in the evening with my family, and with Melanie and her boys.  I pulled my groin really bad.  This felt a lot worse than it did 10 yrs. ago when I pulled the same one.  I think I'm done running for a while.  That means no Utah Valley, and my training was going so well.

First day back out since April 5th when I pulled my groin playing kickball.  It held up well.
