Today, I ran 21 miles (or 6 times around the river trail loop) in 2 hrs and 45 minutes on the dot. I didn't really push any speed, I just kept it around 7:50 pace. I stopped 2 times, at miles 10 1/2 for some water, grapes and cyto-max. Then again at 13 miles to kiss my boys off to the first day at school and another drink. I know my fitness level is there. I was not winded or overly tired once during the run. It was good for me to do this. My confidence level is up for the Top of Utah. Now I really know what kind of guts I am made of. I think I am on track for at least a 3 hr 25 minute marathon. But I always surprise myself and underestimate my ability.
