Another pretty good day. Felt pretty good through out the run except for the arch area which was tight for the first couple of miles and then was barely noticable the rest of the way. Picked up the pace for one mile to 7:38/mile and felt good. I think my plan at Ogden is to go out at my goal marathon pace 7:26/mile, hold it for as long as I can and then see what happens. I know an even pacing strategy would be better for overall time but I want to see where my fitness is and this would be a good opportunity to evaluate it. At this point I would imagine I could do the first 8 miles which are slightly downhill at this pace and then see where we go from there. We leave for Ogden on Wednesday night after my sons band concert. We will be stopping in St. George at my parents for the night and then on to Logan the next day to stay with her mom on Thursday night, then we are in a hotel in Ogden Friday night. The weather looks to be sunny and warm, hopefully with no wind.
