Ran by our duplex and on the JRP some. This heat is starting to wear on me. I like summer but I'm starting to feel ready for some cooler temps. It was 103º at the Mosquito Abatement weather station during my run.  Luckily I found some sprinklers to cool off in.

4 measly miles. I'm looking forward to being done with Park City more than I'm looking forward to Park City.

City Creek @ 6pm. I almost never run this late in the day. It was a bit cooler and kind of nice.

I would usually run either Thursday or Friday before a marathon but this smoke seems to be getting to me. I've lost my voice and don't feel great, not sick but not 100% well....  So I'm resting.

Race: Park City Marathon (26.2 Miles) 03:40:03

A 10 day delay in posting my race report is indicative of my lackadaisical attitude toward running.  I still enjoy running but have no motivation to focus on it.  Maybe this is a more rounded and healthier way to live anyway?

I enjoyed seeing Tina, Smooth (and Larry), Brad, RAD, Kelli, Mel, and other bloggers who I don't even know their names. And I enjoyed the marathon!  I started slow and finished slower.  I was still tired by the end of the race but not spent or miserable.  I finished thirsty and should have taken more fluids but I hate having to stop to pee....  After finishing I downed a bunch of chocolate milk and overly colorful cold drinks.  Then I was ready to drive home and take a nap, and that is just what I did.  

 No recovery needed for this race.  I didn't even walk down the stairs funny on Sunday or Monday.   

 My time was 3:40:03, about 12 minute slower than last time I ran Park City and the Slam. 

Now..... should I plan and train for St. George or just cruise???????

JRP. Left, right, repeat.

I almost hate to admit that I'm enjoying the chic lit book my wife gave me to listen to. Nothing is happening in it but it is still holding my interest while running.  The title is Attachments.  I do not know the author.

JRP.  It is almost August, where the heel is our cooler weather? The temp at the weather station I run by peaked at 99.7 during my run.  The stretches of black top with no shade felt brutal.  Bleh....
