Ran a 3:32:57 in the St. George Marathon last weekend … it was in St. George, Utah, in the southwestern corner of the state. Flew into Vegas and drove the two hours to St. George, passing through a corner of Arizona. Very pretty race… they started us off before dawn, with the contours of the road lit by glow-sticks on poles. By the time I was finished, tho, it was around 10 a.m. and the sun was high in the sky.

St. George was my ninth marathon, I believe … I didn’t approach my PR of 3:18 set in Chicago, unfortunately, due to some slacking off over the summer. New York has too many distractions!
