6:45am:  Nice, easy run today.  Temperature was 29 degrees so not too bad.  I ran 8.54 miles at an easy pace.  Tucson in 6 days.

6:45am:  It was 41 degrees this morning and windy, but nice enough that I did not need a hat or jacket today.  I ran a great tempo run, 10.52 miles, pushing the 2nd half faster than the first and finishing at a 6:10 pace the last couple miles.

7:00am:  Temperature was 22 degrees this morning with a wind-chill of 12, but that wasn't the problem.  It snowed a little last night but it melted when it hit the road and sidewalks and then froze on later in the night.  Everything had a nice glaze to it so I only have one word to describe today's run.....CAUTIOUS.  I was not going to risk it by running fast and slipping and pulling something 3 days before a race.  I ran 6.51 miles nice and slow.

7:00am:  It was 12 degrees this morning so I decided to run inside on the deathmill because I need to be acclimated for Tucson temperatures better.   I ran 4.25 miles with some good pick-ups.  Now I drive to Salt Lake to catch my flight to Tucson.

No running today....race tomorrow.  Drove the course today, the first 4 miles are rolling hills and there is a nasty out and back from mile 10-14 with lots of hills up and down.

Did some sight-seeing today.  Visited Suguaro national park and the Sonoran Desert Museum.  Lots of fun.
