AM. I almost left early this morning because nobody has been showing up to run on Monday, but waited a few minutes and headed past the "meet here" corner at the normal time just in case. I found Lyle there and we ran the traditional Tri-City loop though Lindon into Pleasant Grove and back to Orem at an easy pace. He's pretty excited about his first marathon at St. George. He's been training well, he's healthy, and I think he'll do well. My legs feel good, even after the fast race on Saturday. I have some soreness in both ankles (inside left, outside right) but it's not unusual, I'm taking care of them, and I think I'll be fine. PM. Ran 5 easy and enjoyable miles with Tom and Nathan towards Eagles View. The weather was beautiful. I'm really fortunate to have so many great running buddies. I'm looking forward to running St. George with these two in a few weeks. I hope to at least stay with them until Veyo and Dammeron Valley. I plan to back off a bit during the hills and expect them to begin to pull away. I believe they could both finish in 2:55 or faster while 3:00 is a big stretch goal for me.
