30 tempo minutes early on the home TM as I had an early work meeting. Started at 6 mph, gradually moved up and at 12 minutes I did 5 minutes at 9.5 mph. That was pretty awesome as I didn't know if I could maintain that pace. After 5 mins I bumped down to 8, then quickly lower until I ended at 6 mph the last 2 1/2 mins. Good workout.

Excited for Kam to join me and pace me at the SLC Marathon. Bring it on!

I'm excited that you're excited! Do you know if I can track you throughout the race?

Haha. Thanks! I wish there were more high tech tools for this race but alas. I'm the only one who will know how I'm doing until I'm done. If you haven't already be sure to post your bib number so we can track you on the 21st.

Yes, I posted my Bib and information on the left side of my blog under Upcoming Races. :-)
