Personal:

I have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 11, 9, 6 and 2. I have been married to my guy for 13 years. He is great and so supportive of my running life. He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

Hooray!!

I'm deciding on whether or not to do the Mesquite Marathon. It's less than 3 weeks away. I better make a decision soon.

Have you done that one before?

I've only done one marathon before. And this is the first time Mammoth has put this marathon on in Mesquite. I don't know if it follows the old Mesquite course or not. Anyway, it's only $55. It's on a Saturday. And it's not too far away. The bad thing is, it doesn't look like an easy course.

Burt,

HMMM? What is the longest run you have done in the past few weeks? Would you be trying to beat your time or just doing it for the experience?

17.4 miles last Thursday. If I do it, I won't be trying to go all out, but I'd like to finish in under 4. That would be a lofty goal.
