Did you finally convince them to do it?  After last week's workout, they will absolutely be running in the sub 1:08 range.

That would be cool if they ran. The more the merrier! Didn't know that Hayden was still around (thought he lit out for a couple years). Tell him to start blogging again.

He just won conference in the 10,000 with a 30:40(?) and was conference freshman of the year.  He is really fit and running awesome!

Sasha, just for old time sakes...
Why don't you give us some predictions?  It was always fun to see where you threw us all!

Some guesses are educated, others rather wild

Jeff 1:06:30
Paul 1:07:15
Hayden 1:09:00

Marathon:

me 2:32:00
Dave 2:35:00
Clyde 2:36:00


Really making a wild guess on Clyde and Dave due to the absence of recent tell-tale races or workouts. I saw Dave's downhill sprint for the last 7 miles of a 20 miler, but I have no clue what kind of grade it is, how easy it is to maintain the rhythm, and if Dave's GPS was working correctly.  Somewhat of a wild guess on myself as well. I know I can hold a good pace for 15. I do not know what is going to happen after that. I also do not know how fast of a course it is going to be. In theory the Provo River trail elimination should make it faster. However, on the other hand you get some extra uphill at 5000+ feet. On the plus, the last 10 miles are really good for maintaining the rhythm.

If anybody else wants to be predicted, post the distance you are running.

Feel free to prove me wrong by running faster than I predict. Do not prove me wrong by running slower!

Hey Sasha- Predict my half time based on 40 mpw and three recent 5k's between 16:36 and 16:42.  Thanks!

Interesting thoughts on the race!  For Clyde and I, that is actually about where we think we will be (Sasha, that grade is generous at the least and it was the best I have ever felt on a run - maybe someday I can hit a race day like that, but let me get in better shape first; and that lack of recent racing could cause some trouble).
In the half, I would think both Paul and Jeff will be flirting with breaking 1:06 - no pressure guys!  With Paul getting the edge because of race experience.  Hayden... (and his/our buddy Aaron) are kind of X factors; both super fast and should be able to hold it for a half, but kind of a lack of race experience in a half. 
And of course plenty of great competition in both races.
Anyway... always fun to see!

Yeah since the last time I raced a full marathon was October 2008 I'm going to be rusty to say the least so that is a generous prediction. I was just hoping for something under 2:40. I'm not coming up to "race" all out anyways. Just want to reintroduce marathoning back into my system and maybe pick off some road kill on the second half for those who went out too fast. It should be fun and I'm excited to come up and run it.
As for the half I agree with Dave. I give Paul the edge because of pure big time race experience, drive and race day mojo. But it's anyones race and having run with both Hayden and Aaron over the years I'd never count them out. Seriously they will turn some heads. Aaron ran a 1:10 at PF Changs for his first half EVER. Since then he has been running 90+ miles a week and Haydo is right there with him on some big workouts.

LOL...
Paul I knew Hobbie was running. Word on the street is that he isn't in shape so we can only expect a 2:20 out of him.

Hobie is signed up, but not running. He is barely recovering from his injuries and starting to run.
