Long run while at Bear Lake.  Started in Garden City and ran a little past Fish Haven (6 mile mark after Idaho border).  Not really excited about the run.  I think I have now lost all motivation to run or exercise.  Amazing what some unflattering pictures at the beach can do to one's self esteem.  Contemplating dropping from the Big Cottonwood full to the half.  My heart just isn't in the training.  I may just run the marathon super slow just to run it.

Ran up 1800 South and back home to get some experience on the hills.  Knew it was a bad idea with how my lower right legs are feeling but did it anyway.  Decent effort going up and pushed the pace on the first 2 miles coming down (6:30's).  Right achilles started to act up so I settled into a more comfortable pace for the last 2 miles (7:30's).

One run at Firehouse.  I really struggled today.  Everybody finished quite a bit sooner than me which really hard for me.

The first Saturday in August has always been a cursed day for me.  I have no idea why but I always have bad runs on this day.  Started way too late for a long run but thought if I took it slow I would be alright.  Other than some right achilles pain, I felt fine physically.  Mentally was a completely different story.  I had absolutely no desire to run.  After 11 miles, I gave in and sent an SOS to Becky.  I was able to get in 2 more miles before she got to me.
