Ave easy pace 8:54. Talked to Catherine last night since our team made the SGM lottery. Duane and Diane coming from California are doing their 10 year SGM run, for Cath it will be 6, for me 3. I didn't realize how many people didn't make the lottery. Two really good friends, and excellent competitive runners did not make the lottery. Well, there's always the grand slam way :) I'm really thrilled. I made the Hobble Creek and the SGM. I'm excited now. I just don't want to over-train this year like I did last summer. I can't tell if it's just because it's the beginning of the season, or my hip is feeling strong or what, but the 40 mile weeks are like nothing. I remember last year hitting 40+ miles a week and averaging an 8:40 pace felt like real accomplishment. I have to remember to keep it down a notch until fall. I'm also really excited to be running the Utah Valley Marathon. Although I wish it were Ogden this Saturday. I'm feeling so great right now. Maurine was saying how the first 10 miles is on asphalt. That sucks. I just don't want to over do it and ruin the rest of the summer at that one race. Anyway, Yay for St. George!
