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.

This morning my partner and I ran a good 10 mile pace run. She wants to run her 26.2 in 3:30 so we have been doing pace runs at and 8:00 mpm. Today we ran 8:04 mpm. and we both felt pretty good. I want to run a 3:40 so I feel ahead of the game. I read in Runners world about the goon within that takes over sometimes and gets us to believe we can't do it. Today if the thought came into my mind that I wasn't sure I could keep up the pace I would repeat " go away goon go away"!!!!

Welcome to the blog!

It sounds like you're well on your way to your St. George goal, and beyond. Those were some great 800's you ran yesterday too.

Welcome to the Blog. I will have to try that next time on a run when the goon comes around. Seems to work for you. Great job on your run.

Thanks for the runner's world advice! It will certainly come in handy in the next two weeks for all of us. But you're a fast runner! You'll probably exceed your own expectations, just you wait ( "Go Away Goons!" ). Thanks for that one! Welcome to the blog!

Great job! You will be mentally tough at St. George!

Britta, After seeing your pic, i realize that we've run into each other and chatted many times in passing, up there in Rosecrest...

How did you find the blog?

Welcome to a fun little family of runners!

What half did you just do a 1:43 in? I am running SGM and it is my very first marathon ever. I am pretty excited. 3:40 would be on the fast end of what I expect to do. I ran Hobble Creek in 1:42:49 and Spanish Fork Half in 1:47:?? I'm just curious to see who will be in my same pace for the marathon.
