Tempo run average at 5:53 pace. So freakin sore it was even hard to start running at all, but I knew this run had to be done. I'm a big believer in the tempo run 4 days after a marathon. 30 minutes of lifting.

Now loading up the boat and four wheelers for 5 days at Lone Rock Beach, Lake Powell for some desert running, riding and a lot of boat time with kids and friends.

You guys should hop in the car and join us for a day. We have three families and people coming and going. Walter will be here with his boat too. We will be here until Tuesday. Some are just bringing tents. Lone Rock Beach, last spot you can camp on the waters edge.

You are probably the only person on the planet earth who is a big believer in a hard tempo run four days after a marathon.

Come to think of it, it might actually be kind of cool to be the only person on Earth to believe something.

If your Marathon training cycle was 1 week like Steve's I'm sure it would make more sense.
