Total Distance
12.40

12.4 mile run this morning. I got a really good nights rest last night (finally) and slept in until almost 8 a.m. So I didn't get out until a little later than normal. It was misty and off and on with rain. At first I thought it would end up being a horrible run because of the wet and mud but it never got that bad. I tried to stay on the paved roads and not so much on the trails to stay out of the mud.

I went up past the fire station and over the new overpass in Washington, then down through Dogtown and a mini loop in GS and back around through Middleton and home.

Just ran it smooth and easy at 7:05 pace for the run.

Good job Clyde,

Are you running ogden?

Bill at this time I'm most likely running Ogden. However I'm still undecided and looking at doing one of these instead.

Clyde, head to Ogden!

Hey Clyde, not heading back to Rexburg to defend your title?

Jeff- No! Actually I wouldn't mind doing it again but I'd like to do three marathons in '08 and one of them being STG so I don't want to waste one up there. I'd just like it to be a little more competitive and rewarding.

Mike I really want to do Ogden because time line wise it is perfect but I like to travel a little and do out of state races too. So I either have to dump Ogden or Des News or not travel and do those two before STG in October.

Clyde, I do some of the maps for the Colorado Marathon. I've never run it, but based on my scoping it's a pretty fast course, only one very small uphill (nothing compared to Vejo), and the rest of the course is really mellow downhill. There is a little bit of prize money there, not as much as Ogden, but you would probably be a favorite to win. I thought about doing it a few years ago, but got plantar fasciitis instead. Bummer.

Paul that is a Bummer that you couldn't go do that race. The profile online looks very nice. When I first started looking at doing it I didn't even see that it was a fast downhill. I was just looking for something around the first of May. Now I just wish Southwest had flights to Fort Collins. I'd have to fly to Denver and then drive up most likely. So we'll see what works out.
