Total Distance
8.50

Wow, if that isn't a taper week, I don't know what is ( I barely broke 20 miles).  In all honesty, Tyler has been gone hunting this week so I have been limited in how much I could run.  I was able to go a total of 3 times which is actually better than I had predicted, so I have to feel good about it. 

I met with JaNae this morning; guess what time we started running......... did you guess............????  7:10am!!!!  Can you believe that?  This is officially the latest that I have started running this year (aside from races and all).  But that is the beauty about this time of year.  You can start later and still maintain cooler temperatures.  We did a new course this morning and I do not know if it would be considered the best course to run the week before the marathon, but it sure felt good to get out and challenge ourselves.  It was literally up hill until mile 3, then up and down for the next 3 and then a flat 2 miles to end.  And, I am so proud of myself for breaking the mold and stepping outside of the 5 mile square, Way to go Kellie!! (yes, i am officially trying to boost myself up here and impress you all in another way so you won't pay that much attention to my mileage this week :).

Splits: 9:26, 10:11(this mile was killer), 9:04, 9:09, 8:17, 8:44, 8:27, 8:25, 7:44. 

AVG PACE: 8:53

 It's hard to believe that in just one week from this time, I will hopefully be done with the marathon! I look forward to this week and to getting down to St. George.  Good luck to everyone during these last few days before the Big Day!!

Hey Kellie,

I am a big 3.2 for the running miles this week! I think your 20 is awesome!

Right now it is 10:43 a.m. Next Saturday at this time you should already be over the finish line and hopefully I won't be too far behind you. We'll see. Good luck!

You are going to be thanking those hills when you kick the trash out of the hills in SG. Can hardly believe you broke the 5 miles square again!! In fact, since I have gotten to know you every time my garmin hits 5 miles I think, "5 miles square." Love it!! My mileage wasn't much more than yours this week!! No big deal, it's taper time!! :) Nice hillwork btw!!

From marion on Sat, Sep 27, 2008 at 13:13:20

Great run! I am really starting to love the hills! You are doing to great and you are going to have a wonderful SGM!!! WAY TO GO!!!

From Kelli on Sat, Sep 27, 2008 at 17:09:00

Love the hills??? Crazy Marion!!

Good job getting out there AND running hills. I wish I could have slept in like everyone else did today! It was a nice morning, though, huh? Our 12:00 soccer game was TOO HOT for this time of year. THAT is freaking me out about next week. It should not be this hot!

Sorry, I leave my computer for 12 hours and see what happens? ha ha!!

Teena: Thanks for the comment and I am so honored that you think of me when you hit 5 miles, WOW! I have a new found appreciation for the 5 mile square, I love it!

Marion: I love you, you always boost me up and bring the positive side of things, thank you for being you.

Kelli: Yes, I am a little nervous about the temperatures too. My mom is in St. George this weekend and it is 99 degrees down there. I know we have talked about this before, but I do not run well in heat!! Things better change within the next few days or we are going to be hating life at about 18-20 miles (sorry Marion, bringing a little bad/negative attitude into things). Okay, let's think of it this way. If it is hot, then we will at least sweat a little more cleaning our pores and giving us beautiful, radiant skin. Then, we will look our best when we cross the finish line, YEAH!! I love the heat!!!

P.S. Kim, you are smart to be listening to your body this week and taking it easy in the running department. However, I am sure you have kicked my mileage on your bike!?! You are awesome and are going to do awesome next week (in case you missed the memo, my word for the day is Awesome :)). Hope this week brings lots of good things to you.

From Kelli on Sun, Sep 28, 2008 at 11:11:34

My husband just got back from there on Wednesday and he said it was miserable ti run in. How is that for positive?? I hate heat as well, but I have practiced some. I will just be dumping water over my head at every aide station, so I will look GREAT as i cross the finish line.

From marion on Sun, Sep 28, 2008 at 12:08:11

Ok- I don't mean to be a smart $%* BUTT... this race is in ST GEORGE!!! :D Even I know it's HOT down there!! ;) Good luck you guys! I will pray for some sort of weather christmas miracle and abnormally cold temps for you! :D

From Kelli on Sun, Sep 28, 2008 at 18:28:24

I was just hoping for 80's, not 90's!!! This is abnormally hot (juts like the beginning of September was unseasonably cold---but I was not complaining!!!) I had to give in today and turn the AC back on it was so hot!

The SLTribune said it is gonna be low 70's and rainy here, so maybe there is till hope for 80's!

From marion on Sun, Sep 28, 2008 at 19:01:07

I will pray for the cooler temps and repent of my smarty-pants-ness ;) You guys are going to ROCK!!! :D
