Kellies brother cam in to town this week so we decided to bring him down to St. George and stay at the house. I got in late last night, Kellie and the boys came down thursday. Mike, Kellies brother is training for the Jacksonville Marathon in December so he wanted to go out for a long run. We left the house at Sunbrook and drove out 15 miles on the marathon course. It was cold this morning but it felt really good. He lives in Georgia so it was really cold for him and the elevation was having a little affect on him. We ran the first 2 miles s liitle slow and then we decided to push the pace a little. The scenery was beautiful, and the weather was great. I wish the weather could have been like today for the actual race 3 weeks ago, oh well it's over and done with. We did see Jose running UP the course, he looked like he was flying up those hills. Mike loved the course and the scenery, he wants to put in for the 2009 race. He is running really strong right now and will do well in his marathon come December.
ave pace 6:48
Legs were a little achy towards the end, with all of the down hill running. We forgot GU's and I could tell that I was in need of something around mile 10. We are going to make a stop at the St. George running Center today and check out the store. |
