Slow running at 5:10 a.m. Very easy. Ran into Liz at 2 miles. She is running extremely slow right now with back and sciatica problems. She should be resting, but she's very addicted and the marathon is coming up. This will be her 11th consecutive SGM. Amazing!
Second run tonight at 8:00 p.m. with Gina. Tapering for the 1/2 on Saturday. Easy 3 miler at about 10:26 pace. We're ready. | | Add Comment |

| A very nice 1/2 marathon under great weather conditions! Gina did very well. I paced her trying to stay under 10:00 minutes for every mile. Finished in 2:09:11, about 9:47 pace. She finished 31st out of 76 in the F45-49 division, or about top 40%, so she's improving rapidly. Fastest split was 9:18 with 9:33 final mile. She stayed very strong throughout, finished strong, and had left nothing out there, so she did very well. A cool tail wind for a while coming down the canyon and overcast skies in the last stages helped a whole lot. Just a great race and I couldn't be happier for Gina. She was very excited. Tina also did extremely well. 1:36:00 flat. 2nd in the same F45-49 age group. She is amazing and a great runner. Next up for me is the St. George Marathon, one day after getting back from Argentina and then Snow Canyon 1/2 Marathon on November 7th. | | Comments(2) |
