3.54 miles @ 6:27 pace. Nice and easy miles to loosen the legs up and get ready for tomorrow's race. I threw in a few strides at the end. Legs feel good for the most part. My goal is to run sub-1:09 tomorrow, and ideally closer to 1:08 flat.

I had a near minor catastrophe yesterday. I was helping my brother tear down some walls in his home as part of his remodel and I stepped on a nail. It went through my shoe, but luckily was only long enough to touch my skin but not break skin. That would've been bad.

Good luck to everyone racing at Ogden tomorrow.

Whew that would not have been good for your "stay healthy" goal!

Glad to hear you are feeling good. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's race. I'll see you at the start and hopefully for a least a few miles at the beginning :-) I'd really like to go sub 1:11 with a stretch goal to go sub 1:10. We'll see tomorrow!
