Payson Park loop this morning, I felt okay but not great but it was a beautiful morning and I'm glad that I was able to get out. My average pace was 8:34 with a total time of 53:25, finished up with some upper body weight trianing and then some push-ups. I'm running the ST George marathon this year again and my boston qualify time is 3:40:00, so I will be counting every mile under 8:20 a MP mile, where I need to average an 8:23 pace to get my time. I hope to finally qualify.

See you tomorrow.
