5 out of 6 of my Ragnar van came for the group run/van meeting.  We met at a central location which happens to be the Ragnar course finish line at Tempe Town Lake.  Glen and I ran together.  We ran twice around the lake.  We started out pretty fast.  But after two and a half miles I saw a portajohn and made good use of it.  Glen was kind enough to wait for me.  That gave Shannon and Michael a chance to catch up.  We passed them again in quick order.  I think they ended up running about 6 miles.  We saw Liz on the backside.  Not sure how far she went, but we all got a good workout in.  Then we made assignments, and now everyone's excited for the big race in two weeks!

Great run! Quick pace as well.

Thanks. I felt pretty fresh at first from taking a few days off, but then it caught up to me.

From Rossy on Sat, Feb 12, 2011 at 18:32:43 from 167.138.234.17

Burt, nice pre-Del Sol training! You are going to have so much fun and best of luck to you and your team!

From RAD on Sat, Feb 12, 2011 at 19:55:14 from 67.172.229.125

Excellent miles and pace Burt!!!

Super splits, Burt! Especially this early in the season. Way to hoof it! Your goal of running a marathon in close to 4 hours is way too soft. You'll bust that by a bunch.

From Burt on Sun, Feb 13, 2011 at 21:22:56 from 72.223.90.79

Rossy - Thanks! Ragnar's always a great time.

RAD - Glen always brings out the best in my running.

Choke - My problem is I need to do some long runs. I peter out too fast.

Very good run, best of luck with the upcoming Ragnar, I love those reports.

From Burt on Sun, Feb 13, 2011 at 21:41:41 from 72.223.90.79

Thanks Mark. Two weeks to go!

Ragnar already?! Wow, it feels like Vegas was just yesterday. Next Ragnar for me is Wasatch Back in June. Good luck at the race!
