St. George 1/2 Marathon. 1:43:05. 7:52 AP. 7th in M55-59. 200 OA field. 142 Gender. Nice, clear and sunny day!! Nippy at the start at about 34 degrees. Gradually warming throughout. Felt pretty decent. Calf nearly 100% and wasn't a factor. Hammies threatened a couple of times, but nothing materialized. Definitely need to get more stretching in. 6 minutes faster than last year.

Resting.  Right hip or SI joint still hurting.  Much improved but not good enough to run.  2 laps walking at the Tooele Running Club Boston Marathon Memorial social activity at England Acres.  Great day at Boston.  Meb wins in 2:08:36!  Finally, after 31 years we have an American win this thing!
