Following an excellent night of sleep, I ate a nice breakfast then went back to bed for a nap before going out for my final day of tapering before the Salt Lake City Marathon. This was an errand run up to REI in which I ran a few miles to and from the bus stop in order to get to the store (i.e., I rode the bus up the major hill from my house to REI in order not to work my legs too much before tomorrow’s race). After I picked out a new backpack and some protein bars, I headed home and called it a day. In total I ran 4.5 miles at a very relaxed pace.

For my marathon-eve non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.

Good luck at the marathon! Heck, you might even be done by now.

Thanks Burt and the race went well! Also, this might be the year for your Suns; that is, a lot of the local broadcasters are predicting that if the Lakers continue to falter, the Suns will be the team to beat in the West (they have been on a complete tear as of late). In regards to my Jazz, they just seem to become more injured the more they play.
