Just winding it down now for the big day.  Felt suprisingly good today.  The past two weeks I have suffered from a bit of fatigue during my runs, even in the first mile.  Legs just felt weak and tired.  Today I felt no fatigue, so I am hoping that I have rounded the corner and am ready for a good run at SGM.  The next two days will be nice and easy 3 milers and I will be sleeping in on Friday morning before we drive up to St. George because I know I won't sleep well Friday night before the race.

Time:  34:46  8:41/mile

I'm happy that you're feeling good Jeff. You'll be ready to go for Saturday!

Awesome man. I am really looking forward to this. I know I have said it a few times. But it just makes it that much better to see you are coming into this in great form. We both seem to be looking good coming into it.

How are you feeling Cal?

From Cal on Wed, Oct 01, 2008 at 11:44:18

I feel much improved. (not 100% by any means, but better than last week) I'm doing a test run later this afternoon which will likely determine my plans for Saturday.

I'm not sure when you were planning to head up to St. George, but wanted to wish you good luck!

That sounds great Jeff. Two more easy days and your legs will be hard to hold back.

Its nice to hear that you are turning the corner, I know you will have a great race Jeff! I hope to see you while we are down at least at the starting line or the finish, which ever...
