Loafer up/down run. Hadn't done this for 3 weeks and it was tough as ever. Had hoped I'd have more energy after the lower mileage week last week.

Nice run up and down Payson Canyon. Felt pretty good other than my black and blue big toe.

Went up to the Nebo marathon starting line with Dan and Ken bright and early. Plan was to run down to Peteetneet we were thinking that would be around 23 miles but actually ends up being 24. Dan had calf cramping problems by mile 12 or 13 and had to do lots of walking after that. I felt good for just shy of 20 miles but after stopping for a potty break my legs locked up and I was pretty useless the rest of the way and did lots of walking myself. Need to remember during the race NOT to stop late in the race for anything or it could get pretty ugly.
