I really tryed this morning to do a true recovery run, my goal was to keep everything slower than a nine minute mile. I decided to take it easy and enjoy the scenery, my average pace was 9:13 with my average heart rate at 138 total time was 55:40, it felt good to take it easy... Tomorrow I plan on doing 10 to 12 miles depending on how I am feeling and how my leg is holding up, so who knows. No strength training today, I need the break.  I will resume on Monday or I might do some upper body tomorrow after my long run, I will have to see how much time I have.

Kind of boring today, sorry for that....

Clay, it was interesting to read that you ran between Salem and Payson. I grew up in Payson, married a girl from Lehi, lived out in West Mountain for 14 years, then west of Lehi for 6 years, and now in Texas.

Hey, looking at your half marathon time it sure looks like you just need to work on extending your base and weekly mileage and you are on your way to a faster marathon. Good luck, Paul

Salem is a great place, I haved lived here for about 7 years now and we love it... Thanks for the advise, I got injured about 6 weeks before SGM and I was primed for a 3:20 or better, Stress Fracture, but I am on the road to recovery. It was good to here from you Paul and the best of luck to you and yours.
