Morning run, temp 60'

Crazy temperatures for the end of September. 

I must have pushed a little to hard at the SOJO half Saturday, cause I was still sore today.  My tendonitis didn't like it either, it was aching more today than it has in 3-4 weeks.  Hopefully with lower miles and easy running it will recover some.

There is something about going to St. George to run the marathon that is exciting even if you are partially injured and couldn't train properly.  Maybe it is the excitment of the unknown.  Anyway, I hope everyone has a great race and a fun time.

Stayed with Tom and Kim at their Pleasant Palms Condo.  Much better than a hotel!  A great please to vacation with a family.  The day before the race we went swimming, shuffle board, miniture golf, etc.. 

Tom drove us to the start.  It is always nice to get to relax on the way to the starting line.

Warmest start to the St. George Marathon so far.  I only ran 13 miles in August and couldn't train good in September because of Tendonitis so I new I wouldn't be anywhere near my Sub 3 time in June.  I always cramp up on low miles if I push to hard.  So I decided to run behind the 3:20 pace guy so I wouldn't go out to fast.  I was also hoping to run with Matt Larson who was going to do the same.  However, Matt started back to far in the pack so he didn't ever catch up to the pace guy. 

This ended up being a near perfect pace.  I could tell after only a few miles that my last weeks half marathon didn't leave my legs fresh.  My calves were tired and aching some.  I ate about the equivalent of 3 bananas along the way and a couple of mini cliff bars.  I also drank gatorade and water at about every stop also pooring some water on my back, hoping this would help with the cramping.  From mile 15 on my legs were going back and forth trying to decide if they would cramp up.  With 3 miles left my legs were doing ok so I tried to push and see if I could run some sub 7 miles.  I was at about a 6:45 pace for that final push and then my legs said "Not doing this or it's Cramping time" so I had to slow it back down.
