recovery run--- slept well last night and got out in the cool of the morning.  Felt soooooo good.  So much better than yesterday when since I got out at 6:35am!!  I was like awwww  I am not even the least bit sore from yesterdays semi-speedwork (mostly heat simulation run!!).  Then when I saw my first mile pace of 9:40 I knew exactly why it felt so easy.  I seriously thought I was at least a 9mm.  Too funny!!  Like I must have been asleep!!  The next mile was still over 9-- 9:08!!  My legs felt great.  I didn't feel like I was working hard (duh the pace) but really?  Oh well this is a true recovery run.  AP for 8 miles 8:21.  NEWSFLASH-- I am the 3:40 Pacer for  the Pocatello Marathon (thanks to Rachelle :D).  Yup it is Official!!  8:24 pace.  Going to have to contain myself as the pacer director wants me to run that pace regardless of the course elevation changes.  This should be interesting!! :D.  I am soo gonna run it right on.   Kind of nervous too-- I am suppose to be a first responder as well if someone collapses during the race!!  A no brainer but my pacing job goes out the window if someone collapses.    This is going to be a nice training run.  I had only three 18 milers planned before SG and now I only have two planned with one 26 miler : D.   I am driving up with Rachelle, and Rachel. Fun times!!  The marathon is September 1.  Beautiful scenery!!
