LIGHT INTERVALS

Met up with Ben at 21st St. Pond to do some early morning light intervals. The goal was just to get a little bit of turnover and keep the legs sharp. We did six 400s with 1:15 rest and one mile at goal marathon pace.

400s: 70.4 69.5 68.7 70.9 67.1 71 Mile: 5:27

I felt very fresh and ready to roll. The mile felt like a breeze after the 400s. Saturday can't come soon enough!

I'm heading to St. George this afternoon and my parents' condo down there doesn't have internet, so I likely won't be checking in here until after the race. My goal is to run sub-2:26 and I it should be very doable, but with my past experiences with the marathon...we'll see. But I do feel this is the most prepared I've been for a marathon so I think it will go well.

Good luck Riley. You've had a heck of a year, all building towards this. Go get 'em!
