| 5:00 a.m. 20 minutes stationary cycling at home gym. 10 min. On Universal Gym upper body weights. Had to bag evening run after getting home at 9:00 p.m. Traveled in a major snow storm from Idaho followed by 2 1/2 hour bus ride from SLC to Tooele. This is why I'd rather be at our place in Ivins! | | Comments(2) |

St. George 1/2 Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:49:17, Place overall: 352, Place in age division: 7 | | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | | 0.00 | 13.10 | 13.10 |
| St. George 1/2 Marathon. 7/34 M55-59 AG. Paced my daughter-in-law, Ashlee, to a 1:49:17 finish. 8:20 AP. She did great, especially for her very first race! Stayed very strong right to the finish. A very positive experience for her. A beautiful day. Sunny and clear blue skies. A bit nippy at the start at about 32 degrees, 44 degrees at the finish, 56+ degrees later in the day. Took the grandkids up on the red cliffs hiking in the late afternoon. Sure beats the cold temperatures and gunk in the air up in SLC and in Tooele right now. Do NOT want to go home on Monday! |

| 9:00 a.m. 10 TM miles at the gym. 1:30:00. Getting downright tired of running on the treadmill. Sick of the bad air. Heading to Orlando on Monday and then to St. George when I get back on Friday. Maybe it will be better here after that. I'm still seeing people out running in this gunk. May as well light up a cigarette. |
