Just another easy slow training run.  I love the cool fall air.  I think I am back to near 100% after the marathon,  fastest recovery ever for me.  Can't wait till Saturday at St. George!

Felt a little tired today, two long days at work kind of got to me.  I am also going to start with extra carbs tomorrow.

I am very excited about this marathon finish and to set another PR.  One of my main goals was to finish under 2 hours in my last 2 marathons of the Grand Slam (done).  I really did have to slow down a lot on the hills resulting in 5 miles 7 plus minute miles.  I was happy though that I was able to have a negative split time by 2 minutes.  I just wish I could have pushed a little harder in the 1st half.  The weather was a challenge and I didn't know how it would be.  I wore a garbage bag for the 1st 8 miles and then took it off and finally ditched my hat and gloves at mile 18.  Overall what a great year of running though, it will be fun to go into a different age division next time  I race and see how I compare.
