It was 63 degrees and smoky again this morning.  I ran a couple miles before meeting our group.  Then I ran 4 miles with Shannon.  I ran in to Bret and Shaunna and ran 1 with them before finishing by myself.  Total 10.08 miles.

It was nice and cool at the start this morning.  I ran this as an easy training run.  I saw Rachel, Smooth, and Teena at the start.  I took it really easy the whole way and actually enjoyed the scenery for probably the first time I have run this, and this was my 12th straight Park City marathon.

I felt really good at the finish and should be really strong for Pocatello in 2 weeks.  It was a fun day.
