Mouth of Provo Canyon to Trefoil and back 20-miler with Kent and Larry (who went a little shorter). I felt pretty good through 16. The last 4 were hard. I skipped lunch on Friday because of a work meeting then worked late. I ended up not eating dinner (a few pieces of pizza and some bread sticks) until after 8:00pm. I took a couple of gels during the run, but I still think I ran out of gas at the end. At least I hope so. If not, I'm just not in marathon shape and the latter miles of the St. George marathon next week aren't going to be too pleasant. I prefer to think (hope) that if I properly taper, carbo load, hydrate and not go out too fast that I'll be able to do significantly better on race day. And I can always count on race day magic for at least a little...magic.

Hey what you doing up this late. We need to get to bed!!

BTW nice job getting the 20+ run done. Could be any number of reasons for being tired at the end, like maybe that the distance was 20+! I think you may surprise yourself at SGM.
